The First Session
An initial evaluation is one hour. In it I will,
- Listen thoughtfully to your challenges
- Assess your medical and psychiatric history
- Ask about your life story to better understand you as a person
At the end of the session, I will,
- Summarize your challenges and strengths
- Discuss my assessment and different ways to tackle your treatment
- Set up a time for our next session
Should I come alone or bring a family member?
- You can bring a family member along if you wish or I can explain my recommendations to your family. I believe that we cope better with crises when families work together
- Nevertheless, therapy is also an important space that you reserve for for yourself. Therefore, individual psychotherapy is usually one-on-one
Subsequent Sessions
Follow ups are either 20 or 45 minutes, depending upon your needs and preferences.
Coordination of Care
- With your permission, I will coordinate your care with your other physicians and therapists
- Teamwork is vital as we work to improve your health.
Psychological Testing
- Before the initial visit, you will be asked to complete an online psychological assessment. This takes about 15 minutes. It assess depression, anxiety, trauma, alcohol, drugs and medical issues.
- We track depression and anxiety scores at each visit to monitor your improvement. You will get an email reminder about this before each visit.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel at short notice or are too sick to come in, consider converting the appointment into a tele-psychiatry visit. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and no-shows are charged the full rate.
Feedback
I am always open to feedback. Positive and negative. It helps us work better together to achieve your goals.
