The first visit is a comprehensive review of your mental, medical and social history, allowing me to develop a full understanding of you and your needs. Most of the time one visit is sufficient for this, but some complex cases may require two visits. We will then establish a treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, therapy and medication. Depending on the case, medication may be started after the first visit.

The initial evaluation for adults is generally 50 minutes long. For children and adolescents, initial evaluations take approximately 80 minutes. In some complex cases, it may take more than one visit to complete the entire assessment and formulate a treatment plan. Follow-up visits for medication management are 25 minutes. Telepsychiatry appointments are the same as face-to-face appointments.

I provide brief psychotherapy interventions as part of medication evaluation visits, however I focus on pharmacological treatment. My approach is always to collaborate with your primary therapist so treatment goals align and I encourage, and work closely with individual, family and school therapists.
