Psychiatric Evaluations and Medication Management…

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.
