The initial session is a psychiatric evaluation and typically lasts 45–60 minutes. We will begin with brief introductions, followed by a comprehensive information-gathering process to better understand your background, concerns, and goals. Getting to know you is essential to providing individualized, client-centered care.

During the session, you can expect questions about your mental and physical health, family history, current symptoms, and the specific challenges you are experiencing. Based on this assessment, a preliminary understanding of the concern (such as a diagnosis) may be discussed. When appropriate, baseline labs, an EKG, or relevant medical records may be requested. Medication and/or therapy recommendations may also be made as part of your treatment plan.

Building a trusting, supportive, and nonjudgmental relationship is a priority. We will work collaboratively to identify your needs, set treatment goals, and develop a care plan that aligns with your objectives. Education about treatment options will be provided, and immediate concerns will be addressed.

We will also review expectations for future sessions, including appointment frequency and your role in the treatment process. Confidentiality and administrative details—such as office policies and fees—will be discussed to ensure transparency and clarity. I look forward to meeting you and working together to support your well-being.
