Consultation, Insurance and Out of Network Services
Free 15 minute consultation
At my Integrative Psychiatry practice, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership built on mutual trust and understanding. That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can explore your health concerns and goals. This meeting allows us to determine if we're a good fit for each other. It gives you a chance to understand my holistic approach to healing, while I gain insight into your unique needs and expectations. It's the first step in our journey towards your comprehensive wellbeing and I look forward to embarking on this path together.
The Initial Appointment
The initial consultation at our Integrative Psychiatry practice is a comprehensive, 60-minute, meticulously designed to lay the groundwork for your healing journey. In this session, our primary focus is to gather a complete understanding of your medical and psychiatric history, including any previous diagnoses. This evaluation paves the way for a detailed discussion about potential further tests that may be necessary to identify the root causes of your health concerns accurately. Our approach may include considering lab tests. The core objective of this first session is to establish a deep and holistic understanding of your health and well-being. We aim to know you as a patient and as an individual, discerning the intricate details that contribute to your current health scenario. This comprehensive information will be meticulously reviewed and used to prepare for your next session. In this subsequent meeting, we will be equipped to discuss and potentially prescribe appropriate treatments.
Follow up Appointments
In a 40 to 60 -minute follow-up appointment at my Integrative Psychiatry practice, we will meticulously review any test results, and reassess your health status, taking into account any changes or progress made since our initial meeting. This reassessment forms the foundation upon which we can implement relevant interventions tailored to your specific needs. We will also fine-tune the existing treatment plan, making necessary adjustments based on your progress and current situation. This dynamic approach ensures that your pathway to healing is not just personalized, but also adaptable to your evolving health needs and goals.
