Initial Evaluation
A Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation involves discussing what you are experiencing, your concerns, your mind-body symptoms, your medical and psychiatric history, family history, and psychosocial factors affecting your mental health balance and well-being.
During our first visit together, we will meet for about 1.5 – 2 hours with a primary goal of building a trusting patient-practitioner relationship, establishing a DSM-5 TR (Psychiatric Diagnostic Manual, 5th Edition, text-revision) diagnosis, identifying treatment goals and creating a treatment plan.
Our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) will collaborate with your Therapist to get to know you and treat your mind and body, not solely treat your “symptoms”.
Our PMHNP is trained in Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, Diagnosis, and Treatment of the following:
