A brief call that gives us a chance to understand what you’re looking for and answer any questions you may have. We will talk about your goals, your concerns, and whether our practice is the right fit for your needs.

Please review our patient policies and guidelines prior to the call. If not already provided, a copy is available upon request.

Your first full visit focuses on understanding your history, symptoms, and goals so we can create a personalized treatment plan. Medications are not prescribed during the intake. If appropriate, medication may be started at your first follow-up visit.

Before your intake, you will receive an email from Headway to create your account and complete all required forms, consents, and insurance verification. These forms must be completed before your appointment or the visit may need to be rescheduled.

Follow-up appointments review progress, make medication adjustments, and support your ongoing well-being.

If medication is started:

• Your first follow-up must be within one week
• Weekly visits are required until your dose is stable
• Once stable, follow-ups are spaced out based on your needs

All sessions take place virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Your appointment link will be sent by email and text.
