This 45-minute first-visit psych evaluation is a focused, friendly meeting to get a clear picture of your current concerns, medical and mental health history, and treatment goals. Expect questions about symptoms, sleep, mood, relationships, substance use, medications, and any past therapies or diagnoses. We’ll review safety (suicidal or self-harm thoughts) and, when appropriate, discuss initial treatment options such as therapy, medication, or referrals. By the end of the visit you’ll have a concise assessment, a recommended plan, and next steps tailored to your needs — all delivered with respect, confidentiality, and no judgment. Bring any relevant medical records or a list of current medications if you can.

30-minute established patient visit: focused follow-up to assess progress, address new or ongoing complaints, adjust medications and treatment plans, review labs/diagnostics, provide brief counseling and preventive guidance, and coordinate referrals or follow-up scheduling. Typical use: routine chronic disease management, symptom reassessment, medication management, and minor acute issues.

Currently available modalities: CBT, psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma & grief therapy, and ACT.

• Value: Evidence-based approaches focused on measurable progress (CBT, ACT) plus depth-oriented care (psychodynamic) and sensitive, specialist support for trauma and grief. You get practical tools, lasting insight, and compassionate containment.

• Length of service: Typical course 8–20 sessions for focused goals (CBT/ACT); longer-term psychodynamic work or complex trauma/grief support often 6 months to 2+ years, tailored to your needs.

• Weekly 45-minute sessions standard; frequency adjustable.

• Why it’s unique: Blends short-term, skills-based therapies with long-term relational insight — skilled clinicians trained across modalities, so treatment adapts to you (not the other way around). Trauma and grief care emphasizes safety, stabilization, and meaning-making alongside symptom relief.

Group therapy offers a supportive, cost-effective way to work through life’s challenges with others who get it. In a small, guided group you’ll practice new skills, share experiences, and receive feedback from peers and a trained facilitator. Options include process groups for emotional support, skills-based groups (like CBT or DBT) for managing anxiety, depression, or relationships, and specialty groups for grief, trauma recovery, LGBTQ+ concerns, substance use, or parenting. Groups vary by size, format (in-person or virtual), length, and level of structure—some are drop-in, others run for a set number of weeks. You’ll leave with practical tools, reduced isolation, and a clearer sense of how others handle similar struggles. Ask about facilitator qualifications, group goals, confidentiality rules, and whether the style is more conversational or curriculum-driven to find the best fit.
