Your first appointment will be an intake appointment in which we will discuss your symptoms, your goals, and your concerns. You may be asked to complete standardized assessment tools and bloodwork to rule out underlying physical causes of mental health symptoms. Thorough and complete assessment is necessary to clarify and substantiate any diagnosis. Gathering comprehensive medical, familial, and social history is also key to identifying potential factors that instruct treatment plans. This first appointment will typically last from 40-60 minutes. Followup appointments continue the evaluation and response to any treatment recommendations that have been implemented. These appointments typically last 20-30 minutes. Dependent upon stability of condition, check-in appointments of 15 minutes may be appropriate.
Your treatment plan may include prescription medications, psychotherapy referrals, lifestyle modification recommendations (diet, sleep hygiene, and exercise), motivational and supportive therapy, supplementation recommendations, and integrative modalities to better manage your overall health.
While Lifesong Mental Health & Wellness strives to serve its patients with a comprehensive approach, certain conditions and/or acuity may necessitate a more specialized or higher level of care.
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me—a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalms 42:8
