What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first visit usually is for comprehensive psychiatric evaluation where we will identify areas of need and decide if subsequent visits are to be single with Therapy session or medication management only or if to be combined.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
