Treatment


You'll find descriptions of various treatment options at the left. Below is a brief discussion of how I approach patient treatment.


Before recommending treatment, we meet to complete a full diagnostic assessment.

 

An exploration of your life story is as important as a detailed history of your psychiatric and medical symptoms and prior treatment.

 

Initial consultation appointments are 90-120 minutes in length and include a thorough psychiatric evaluation and recommendations for treatment.

 

Treatment interventions can include psychopharmacology (medication management), individual psychotherapy, family/couples therapy, and group therapy.

 

Treatment visits are 30-60 minutes depending upon the determined course of treatment. Some patients need only a few sessions to relieve the symptoms bringing them to treatment, while others benefit from more exploration.
