A comprehensive assessment with the intent to clarify the diagnosis. It may be part of the assessment or prioritized during a 90-minute intake. This includes gathering information about your mental health history, medical history, current & past symptoms, and life circumstances to determine a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Medication Management
The careful prescription, monitoring, and adjustment of medications to treat mental health conditions, ensuring their effectiveness and minimizing side effects.
