First session
During your first session, we will take time to discuss your concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, current stressors, and treatment goals in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. I will ask questions to better understand your experiences and develop a personalized care plan tailored to your needs. Together, we will discuss possible treatment options, which may include therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and medication management when appropriate.
