Psychiatric Clinic

We are a therapy based clinic, meaning it is important that you are actively involved in talk therapy before you receive psychiatric care. After several visits with your therapist, you may request or he/she may recommend that you see our psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurse Prescribers for additional evaluation and treatment.

Psychiatric Evaluation: What to Expect

Typically, a psychiatric evaluation takes an interview format and can be completed in less than an hour.

The psychiatrist or advanced practice nurse prescriber will ask you to describe your symptoms, the time and circumstances of when your symptoms began, and ask you to recall any patterns of your symptoms. They will ask about your family situation and any family history of similar problems. You may be encouraged to talk about your childhood, any support systems you have (family, friends and community) and your general wellbeing.

Medical Management: What to Expect

If medication is prescribed to treat your condition, it is important for the prescriber to follow up on a regular basis to ensure that the treatment is working and that there are no adverse side effects. You will be asked to schedule short appointments for your progress to be monitored.
