Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We will review your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, previous treatments, and goals for care. This is a collaborative conversation — not an interrogation.
We’ll discuss possible diagnoses, treatment options, and whether medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination approach makes the most sense for you. If medication is appropriate, we will review risks, benefits, and alternatives in detail so you can make an informed decision.
You’re encouraged to ask questions and be open about what has — and hasn’t — worked for you in the past. The goal of this first session is clarity, safety, and creating a plan tailored to you.
Come as you are. We’ll take it from there.
