My first session with you
The first session is about us building an initial connection. We will begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your mental health, which involves an assessment of your current symptoms, medication history, behaviors such as daily exercise routines, social interactions, sleep, and more. Various clinically approved screening methods are used to evaluate your symptoms, diagnose, and safely get you on the proper treatment.
