> Available to new clients and serves as an opportunity to meet each other, to see if we are a good fit. You will direct this 25 minute visit.
> An opportunity to ask questions, discuss expectations, and generally get a feel for what it will be like to work together.
> We will not thoroughly unpack any topics that are better addressed in a therapy appointment. This is a good option for people who are new to mental health treatment, unsure about working with me, or any other version of testing the waters before diving into the big intake appointment.
> A 2 therapeutic hour appointment, spending 105 minutes talking face-to-face.
> The first step for most therapy clients. The appointment will Ficus on your background and history. Get to know you, and bringing me up to speed with your current circumstances is the goal. We will talk in-depth about what brings you to seek services, aspects impacting your current state, and expectations or goals for treatment.
> In rare cases, a 1 hour appointment is more appropriate.
> Most appointments will be 1 therapeutic hour, 2 hour appointments are also available. All sessions include non-face-to-face clinical time.
> Individual therapy is an opportunity for growth, insight, clarity, and guidance. I strive to create a trusting, non-judgmental environment where you feel safe being vulnerable and authentic. We may identify problematic thought and/or behavior patterns, aspects of your environment that are unnecessarily burdensome, and opportunities for change or adaptation.
> You may learn or further develop stress management tactics, relaxation techniques, coping skills, emotion identification, emotional vocabulary, boundary creation and maintenance, communication skills, and your personal narrative.
> Each individual client's services are highly tailored to their specific needs. The goal is to get you to the place where your burdens become manageable and you are thriving in whole picture wellness.
> An appointment to discuss your background and history, in general, and pertaining to your mental health symptoms. If you have received a mental health diagnosis in the past, we will discuss the circumstances surrounding this diagnosis and whether you agree or disagree with this diagnosis.
> Any medicines you have previously tried, will be discussed.
> We will discuss any family members who have received a mental health diagnosis or are suspected to have mental health challenges, and treatments they have tried.
> The experiences of your family members are their own and do not determine your individual treatment. However, their experiences may help inform the choices we make for your treatment plan.
> Specific focus will be given to your lifestyle patterns such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, substance use, work/life balance, and participation in fulfilling activity - as these are important factors in whole picture wellness.
> Like a therapy intake, this appointment is an opportunity to address the symptoms that bring you to seek services, aspects of your life impacting your current state, and expectations or goals for treatment.
> This consultation service is available to anyone who has questions about medications. I have no financial connections with any genetic testing nor medication providing companies.
> A good option if you:
> Are wondering whether treatment with medications is appropriate for you or your child, have questions about the potential risks and benefits of medications, feel like you do not get enough time to talk to your medication prescriber and have further questions, wonder if there are non-medicine treatments that have not been suggested, are interested in discussing a plan for reducing psychiatric polypharmacy (reducing the number of mental health medications you are taking), or any other medication related topic.
> Psychiatric genetic testing cannot provide a diagnosis, identification of the 1 specific medication that will work for you. However, we can discuss what these results mean for you, how they can inform treatment choices, how effectively your body is processing medications, and answer any questions that you may have about your psychiatric panel.
> We may utilize lab work, symptom scales, and/or therapeutic techniques in an effort to treat your symptoms to remission with the fewest medications at the lowest effective doses.
> This is a supplementary service to discuss medication problems and potential changes, for you to discuss with your current prescriber. Refills will not be provided.
> It may be utilized in conjunction with therapy
* Crisis appointment
> Established clients may need to request a crisis appointment, outside of business hours. This service is not available for new clients.
> If you are a current client experiencing a crisis and need to be seen imminently, you can call or email me to request a crisis appointment. This is not an emergency service. See Office Policies for emergency protocols.
> I will respond to requests for crisis appointments during office hours, or call Mobile Crisis.
> If it is necessary that you be seen for an appointment outside of available appointment time slots, the session will be billed as a crisis appointment.
> If there is an open appointment time slot, you will be scheduled in the first available appointment and will be billed for an individual therapy appointment or service (not a crisis appointment).
