Consultation

The consultation is an opportunity for us to arrive at a comprehensive assessment of your difficulties, a diagnosis, and a recommended treatment plan. We will begin with a brief phone consultation followed by two or three appointments, after which I may recommend medications, other biological treatments, a type of psychotherapy or a combination of these. If the treatment options that best suit your needs are within my area of expertise and I am taking on new patients I will be happy to work with you, otherwise I may recommend someone who has more expertise in the type of treatment I recommend. I also work in combination with trusted colleagues in split treatments if a combination of treatments is indicated and they have more expertise in a given domain.
