Psychiatric Services
Intake/Psychiatric Evaluation
An intake appointment usually lasts 60-90 minutes. This is when we will discuss what problems or challenges you are facing, what you have done or tried in the past to cope with these issues. We will also discuss social, physical, and family issues that could affect the course of your challenges. After that, we may talk about potential treatment plans, which could include medication, therapy, nutrition, vitamins, exercise, environmental factors, etc. This is essentially an information-gathering, plan-making appointment.
Follow-up/medication management appointments
These appointments usually are scheduled for 30-45 minutes. We will discuss how the treatment plan is working and make adjustments as necessary. These are usually scheduled monthly, but can be as frequent as weekly or as infrequently as every 3 months, depending on various factors.
