Psychiatric Evaluation
Care begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation that can span more than one visit.
About Our CareMedication, therapy, assessment, and testing
Oral Medications
Psychotropic medications affect people differently. Your psychiatrist considers your symptoms, age, other medicines, medical problems, cost, and preferences. Some take effect quickly, and some take weeks. They can decrease symptoms. They do not cure a mental illness.
Psychotherapy
Talk therapy is work you and your psychiatrist do together. It helps with emotional challenges, trauma, stress, and conditions such as anxiety and depression. The aim is to ease symptoms and understand what is driving them.
Cognitive Assessment
A structured evaluation that measures memory, attention, language, reasoning, and problem-solving.
Pharmacogenetic Testing
A lab uses a sample of your DNA to look across your genes. The results may help your psychiatrist choose a medication, including how your body processes it and the chance of side effects.
Medication Management
Psychotropic medication treatment affecting mood, perception, or behavior, with varied therapeutic uses.
Psychotherapy
Talk therapy for emotional challenges, trauma, stress, and conditions such as anxiety and depression.
