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

Initial Psychiatric Evaluation This is a “new” patient visit. During the visit, information is obtained from a new patient or his/her informant in order to arrive at or maintain a diagnosis. The evaluation includes social and biographical information, direct observations, and data from specific psychological tests. Follow-up Medication Management Visits This an established patient visit. Current treatment plans and new symptoms will be assessed, Updates on the client’s medical profile will be made; taking into consideration, any newly diagnosed illness, as well as new social information.
