Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session for a psychiatric evaluation and medication management, clients can expect a thorough and comprehensive assessment to take place. This session is designed to gather relevant information about your mental health history, current symptoms, and any previous treatment experiences. Here's a breakdown of what clients can generally expect: 1. Intake interview: We will start by discussing your background, including personal and family history, any previous diagnoses, and current medications. This information helps me gain a comprehensive understanding of your mental health. 2. Presenting concerns: You will have the opportunity to discuss your current symptoms, concerns, and goals for treatment. It's important for me to understand what you're going through, how it is impacting your daily life, and what you hope to achieve. 3. Assessment tools: Depending on your specific needs, I may use standardized assessment tools to gather additional information about your symptoms, such as depression or anxiety scales. These tools help me assess the severity and nature of your symptoms. 4. Collaborative treatment planning: Based on the information gathered, we will collaboratively develop a treatment plan that suits your unique needs. This may include medication management, therapy referrals, or a combination of both. I will explain the benefits and potential risks of any recommended interventions. 5. Medication evaluation: If medication is deemed appropriate, we will discuss different medication options, potential side effects, and how they may help alleviate your symptoms. I will answer any questions or concerns you have and ensure you have a clear understanding of the treatment plan. 6. Follow-up plan: We will discuss the frequency of follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, and ensure you are achieving your treatment goals.
