A first psychiatric visit is an evaluation, not treatment. Expect 45 to 60 minutes covering symptoms, history, medications, and safety — ending with a working diagnosis and a plan.
We verify benefits, collect history, and send forms so your first visit is spent on you, not paperwork.
What brought you in, when it started, and how it’s affecting sleep, work, school, and relationships.
Medical and psychiatric history, current medications, family history, and a direct conversation about safety.
A working diagnosis, options explained in plain language, and a follow-up scheduled before you leave.
A parent or legal guardian must attend the first appointment. Bring school reports, IEP or 504 documentation, and any prior testing — it helps us build an accurate picture fast, and spares your child repeating the story.
