Initial Psychiatric Evaluation

This is your first appointment in which we will review your or your child’s full psychiatric, medical, social, and family history. We will discuss your reasons for treatment. If the evaluation is for a child, I will spend time alone with the caregiver, with the child if they are willing, then we will discuss the treatment plan all together. Initial appointments with children may require a follow up appointment to complete the assessment.

My goal is to make this a comfortable and safe environment for you and your child. The treatment plan will include the possibility of medications, lab work, psychotherapy, integrative treatments, and referrals to work towards your goals. The frequency of visits depends on what medications are used and your individual needs. Please send all forms and previous records prior to your appointment through your Client Portal.
