Exploration of stressors, lifestyle factors, and goals for care
Development of a treatment plan tailored to your needs

After Your First Visit

Depending on your needs, we may schedule follow-up care or initiate a referral to long-term providers. Follow-up may include:

Medication monitoring and dosage adjustments

Ongoing psychiatric stabilization

Recommendations for additional services

Coordination with your therapist, primary care physician, or treatment facility
