Psychiatric Evaluations
This initial meeting typically lasts 90 minutes and includes a thorough review of your psychiatric history, social history and reasons for seeking out services. To ensure we have enough time together, I request that you complete several forms (that you can access on a patient portal) prior to our meeting or arrive 20 minutes early to fill these out. Please note that I do not complete disability evaluations or evaluations intended to be used in court (e.g. competency evaluations, custody evaluations).
Medication Management
Ketamine Therapy
Telehealth
Follow-up sessions typically occur several weeks after our initial evaluation. The frequency of these will depend on what medication is started and how closely it needs to be monitored. These visits typically last 30 minutes.
If ketamine therapy is considered appropriate based on your symptoms and treatment history, this can be provided in various formulations, which we will decide on together. At this time I am only accepting referrals for ketamine therapy if you are currently working with a therapist and consent to my coordinating a care plan with them. Please see my Resources page for additional information on ketamine.
I also offer visits through a secure, HIPAA compliant video platform. In some cases (such as consideration of ketamine therapy) I require an in person evaluation prior to moving to telehealth.
