Tele-Psychiatry
Mental health should not be limited by time or space! We know how difficult it can be to get a face-to-face therapy appointment these days. How impossible it can feel to squeeze in a visit in your already hectic schedule. How lonely and unsupported you can feel in between sessions. This platform allows you to have access and the care that you deserve.
Since everyone we see is unique, every consultation is different. Your consultation will be based on your concerns and your needs.
A psychiatric consultation is a comprehensive evaluation of the psychological, biological, medical, and social causes of emotional distress. Together, we will review your current stresses and problems and any past medical or psychiatric conditions. This information, as well as any necessary medical records and laboratory tests, will lead to the formulation of a comprehensive treatment plan.
A psychiatric consultation can help you understand the sources of problems from three points of view: biological (i.e. heredity, hormones, nutrition, physical illness), psychological (i.e. current life stressors, childhood experiences), and social (i.e. cultural differences, family relationships, prejudice). It is this capacity to evaluate the causes of emotional distress from each of these perspectives that make psychiatry unique. Many people find that a psychiatric consultation gives them a new perspective and hope for the future.
A simple psychiatric consultation takes two to three sessions. In order to make this short period of time as productive as possible, please gather together all of your records and recollections of previous treatments before the first session.
