Therapy is such an important process that it’s essential to find someone compatible with you. When you first call, we will spend several minutes discussing what your needs are and what my approach is. If it seems we are a good fit, then we will schedule an appointment for an extended session for me to gather information about your childhood, your physical and mental health, and your current symptoms and life situation. Typically, if you are seeking medication, I can prescribe something at the end of the first visit, though at times we need to wait for information from your primary care physician or other medical tests.
