First session
During your first session, we will complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to gain a thorough understanding of your mental health concerns, symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, current stressors, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. This session is designed to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences without judgment. We will also review any previous treatments, medications, coping strategies, and areas of concern that may be affecting your emotional well-being, relationships, work, or daily functioning. Together, we will develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and recommendations for additional resources or services when appropriate.
