PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATIONS

If we need more time to do a thorough evaluation, we’ll schedule a visit to finish the intake and finalize next steps.

Before your appointment, complete the intake form and gather a brief list of current medications/supplements, prior treatments tried, and any diagnoses or records you feel are relevant. If you have recent labs or evaluations for review, upload them to the patient portal.

If you’ve never been formally evaluated or diagnosed, I may recommend neuropsychological testing to support a comprehensive diagnostic impression and guide treatment planning.

I work with a wide spectrum of psychiatric conditions (i.e., depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, OCD, somatic symptoms, sleep-related concerns, psychotic-spectrum symptoms, and cognitive concerns). If your needs require a higher level of care or are outside the scope of outpatient telehealth, I’ll recommend appropriate referrals.

Prescribing is individualized and based on clinical appropriateness and safety. Controlled medications may be considered with appropriate monitoring and only when indicated.

Requests are handled on a limited basis, after an evaluation and once care is established, based on clinical discretion.

Initial evaluations are 60 minutes. If more time is needed to complete a thorough intake, an additional follow-up visit may be scheduled.
