Comprehensive Mental Health Care Tailored to Your Needs

Your path to personalized mental health care
My practice offers two levels of care, regular and comprehensive.
At the regular level, your initial appointment up to 75 minutes long; follow-up appointments are thirty minutes. Follow-ups are usually scheduled once every four weeks until your medication regimen is stabilized. During the maintenance phase, we will meet approximately once every three months.
At the comprehensive level, your initial appointment is two hours, allowing us to delve more deeply into your history. At the end of every appointment, I will send you a visit summary detailing our plan. I will also send your greater care team (such as partner, parent, therapist, or other doctors) with an assessment and plan of our meeting so we are all on the same page.
