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

On our first appointment, we will begin by gathering important information about your medical history, mental health history, and any current concerns you have. Be prepared to discuss: Your symptoms (e.g., mood changes, anxiety, sleep issues), previous mental health treatments (therapy, medications), family history of substance use, family history of mental health issues, any significant life events or stressors, and finally, your goals for treatment. I will evaluate you to understand your condition better. This may involve standardized questionnaires or assessments. If appropriate, you may receive a diagnosis based on the assessment, which will help guide your treatment options. Together, we will discuss various treatment options, which may include: Medication management Lifestyle changes and coping strategies The treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs and preferences. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about your diagnosis, treatment options, and what to expect moving forward. It’s important to feel comfortable and informed about your care.
