How Adult Psychiatry Works

1. Request an appointment: choose online or in-person; we confirm your details and time.
2. Insurance & match: we verify benefits and pair you with a psychiatrist or PMHNP.
3. Comprehensive evaluation: review symptoms, history, medications, and goals.
4. Personalized plan: medication if appropriate, therapy coordination, and follow-ups.

Who You’ll See

• Psychiatrists (MD/DO): diagnose and prescribe; oversee complex treatment.
• PMHNPs: advanced practice nurses trained to assess, diagnose, and treat.
• Team approach: collaborative care focused on your goals and safety.

Medication Management, Done Thoughtfully

• Evidence-based prescribing: benefits, risks, and preferences considered together.
• Regular follow-ups: optimize dose, manage side effects, track progress.
• Therapy collaboration: we coordinate with therapists when helpful.
• Labs & screenings: ordered when clinically appropriate.

Online or In-Person — Your Choice

Telepsychiatry offers convenience and privacy; in-person visits are available if you prefer face-to-face care or need physical checks.

Tips for Your First Visit
