Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations
A psychiatric evaluation is the first step in developing an effective mental health treatment plan. During this appointment, we complete a thorough assessment of emotional, behavioral, and medical factors that may impact mental health.
Psychiatric evaluations may include:
Mental health symptom assessment
Medical and psychiatric history review
Current medication review
Substance use screening
Trauma and stress history review
Functional assessment (work, school, home life)
Diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations
We provide psychiatric evaluations for most conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and substance use disorders.
Medication Management
Medication management involves ongoing monitoring and adjustment of psychiatric medications to support symptom improvement, stability, and overall functioning.
Your provider will work with you to:
• Select appropriate medications when indicated
• Monitor effectiveness and side effects
• Adjust treatment as needed
• Coordinate lab monitoring when appropriate
• Provide medication education and safety guidance
Our approach emphasizes shared decision-making and patient education.
