Step 2- Intake Paperwork

Step 3- Intake Appointment

Step 4- Follow-up Appointments

After we complete your consultation and decide that we are the appropriate office for your psychiatric needs, our office will send you a link to complete consent and payment authorization forms. We require an email address to send these forms.

Once you are finished completing intake forms, we’ll schedule your initial intake session. 

Intake sessions are 60-90 minutes in length, giving adequate time for a proper evaluation and assessment. We will start with your reason for wanting to be seen, followed by a general personal history, medical history, and then we will come up with a treatment plan together. Please be aware an evaluation does not guarantee medications will be prescribed at that visit.

After the intake session is complete we’ll discuss a plan for ongoing treatment, such as the frequency for follow-up appointments, treatment plans and referrals.

Follow-up appointments are generally 20-30 minutes in length. Follow-ups after the initial visit can vary. In general, if you started a new medication on your initial visit, most likely your next follow-up will be 2-4 weeks from the initial intake. For very stable patients with no new medications or no new medication changes, follow ups are every 2-3 months.
