Phone Consultation
15 Minutes
During the phone consultation we can review your current symptoms and state and review what kind of treatment yo are seeking and whether or not I might be able to provide this. If I do not think my practice is the right fit I am happy to provide you with appropriate referrals
Intake or Consultation
60 Minutes
The intake period may last form 1-3 sessions. During this period I will gather information regarding current and past symptoms, past psychiatric history including medications and prior treatment. At the end of this evaluation period we can formulate an appropriate treatment plan and discuss diagnosis and medications if indicated.
If you have had prior treatment, it would be helpful for you to bring records or sign a release of information so I can speak to prior or current providers

Medication Management: Depending on the complexity of the issue we will determine the necessary length and interval of follow up appointments. Generally if I am managing your medications, you will also be working with an outside therapist, with whom I am happy to collaborate
45 minutes
Psychotherapy (+/- med management): If I am providing psychotherapy, we will generally meet weekly and as your symptoms stabilize we can mutually decide if spacing your appointments out further is appopriate
