✓ Your first appointment is designed to be a thoughtful and collaborative exploration of your experiences.
✓ Together, we will:
- Discuss your current symptoms and how they may be affecting your goals, relationships, and daily life.
- Trace a timeline of your life, identifying meaningful turning points—both positive and challenging—that can shed light on your mental health journey.
- Clarify your story and aspirations, so I can understand who you were, who you are today, and who you hope to become.
✓Depending on your needs, I may recommend additional steps such as completing rating scales or lab work to ensure we have a full picture of your health
✓Medication is never a requirement. Instead, I will present several evidence-based treatment options, guiding you through the risks and benefits of each.
✓Once you feel confident and comfortable with our plan, we will begin working toward your goals right away.
