Longer appointment times:
The process starts with either a 75 minute, 90 minute, or 2 hour initial consultation where we go over your past treatments, current concerns, and take a deep dive together to try and understand the root of the problem. We may recommend medication, therapy, lab testing, supplements, and behavioral treatments to try and get you feeling better as efficiently and as quickly as possible. Follow-ups are a minimum of 25-30 minutes, and up to 50 minutes for more comprehensive review, or psychotherapy in addition to medical treatment.
So — if you are looking for both therapy and medication, aren’t sure what you need, or are just looking for someone to treat you the way YOU want to be treated, you’re in the right place.
Integrative Psychiatry:
Supplements, plant-based medicine, and nutraceutical treatments are excellent complements or alternatives to medications. Oftentimes, these interventions allow us to use medication for a shorter time, or be able to use lower doses. We also provide and interpret functional lab testing to better investigate nutrient deficiencies and root causes of complicated or distressing symptoms.
Hassle fee scheduling:
Sometimes one of the most frustrating things about getting medical care is not being able to get in touch with your provider when you need them. Rest assured, you will NOT have to navigate a complicated phone tree to get in touch with your provider for questions, scheduling appointments, or refills.
We have a streamlined technological system that makes it easy to get started working together, and you can contact us directly when you have questions, concerns, or a request. Forget about voicemails that seem to go into the abyss - you can get in touch with your provider directly!
Convenience:
We offer all sessions via telehealth to fit your busy schedule. We have also streamlined our online systems to make the process from initial contact to ongoing treatment intuitive and easy to navigate.
Trauma Informed Care:
It may seem obvious that all psychiatry should be trauma-informed, but our experience is that it isn’t. Many psychiatric providers don’t think about this and they end up giving recommendations you don’t trust, because…
- It feels like they never actually listened to you
- They didn’t give you time to ask questions
- They didn’t create a safe space where you felt okay to disagree with them.
We know how important it is to give you control, empowerment, and safety from the very beginning. We will take as much time as is needed to listen to what is important to you, make sure you understand the recommendations we’re giving, and give you the chance to ask questions, share concerns, or talk about alternatives.
