I offer three types of appointments:
Initial consultation: Depending on the complexity and nature of your presenting concerns, this can range 1 to 1.5 hours. During this appointment, I will ask about your current concerns and your medical, psychiatric, social and family background, and formulate an assessment and plan for treatment.
Therapy +/- medications management: On an ongoing basis, I offer both psychotherapy and medication management. Psychotherapy sessions are at least weekly and last 50 minutes. Concurrent management of medications can be done during therapy sessions.
Medication management only: Sessions that focus primarily on medication management are generally 25 minutes, in special instances can be extended to 50 minutes. The frequency of these visits will depend upon various factors including whether we are starting a new medication, changing doses, the number of medications, and your overall progress .
