Intro Call
As a solo provider, I have limited patient capacity. I work with those who are clinically appropriate for this specific practice scope and setting which is more narrow than a general psychiatry practice. There is no fee for the initial 10-minute phone call. This call is to discuss your needs and determine clinical appropriateness for the practice. Additional information may be requested following the into call. If an appropriate clinical match is determined, we will communicate through our secure, online patient portal and telehealth platform. If you need urgent psychiatric care, please reach out to your insurance company or primary care provider for referrals.
​
1st Visit
A comprehensive health history including full health history, review of medications and supplements, discussion about the vision you have for your health and life. Begin to develop a plan of care. We will also determine at this visit if you would benefit from a higher level of care.
​
If you are an adult seeking ADHD care and have not had a neuropyschological evaluation done, you will need to complete a Cognifit test prior to our first appointment. Our office will order this for you once payment method provided. We will also request any prior evaluations done.
​
Please have your blood pressure and heart rate taken before the first visit (can be done at a pharmacy, typically, or you can order a blood pressure cuff online). Discussion of labs which may help understand your health. Please note insurance does not always cover the labs we use in integrative care.
​
2nd Visit
Continue evaluation, review previous evaluations and records, review labs and continue to work on plan of care. Discuss medication, supplement, and other treatment options.
​
3rd and subsequent visits
Continue to monitor and support your goals, making adjustments as needed.
​
What if I have questions in between visits?
We will do our best to answer quick, non-emergent questions via your patient portal within 2 business days. This is only for brief questions related to appointments, labs, meds, etc.
​
If you have a detailed questions regarding your care, please schedule an appointment.
​
This allows full attention to your question and concern.
​
What ages do you treat?
We generally see those who are 18-60. However, we do occasionally see younger children for consultation only (no medication management).
​
Other​
We do not currently see anyone with persistent severe mental health conditions or diagnoses such as schizophrenia, bipolar 1, psychosis, borderline personality disorder or anorexia nervosa. We do not treat substance use disorder (including alcohol use disorder) or offer evaluations for court or legal proceedings. This list is not comprehensive and we may recommend higher level care at any time depending on individual circumstance.
