Attunement
Our Values
-
Autonomy
A lot of things in our lives are not in our control. I want to emphasize that your values, thoughts and concerns will be heard. We will work together towards your goal.
-
Attentive
Sometimes it is hard to describe or even be aware of what’s going on internally. Being attentive to all aspect of our interaction can open up opportunities to discuss your struggles in a deep meaningful way.
-
Acknowledge
We know that your journey towards mental health requires a lot of hard work on your part and can bring up difficult feelings. We want to commend you for just being here, reading this website.
-
Authenticity
At times our inner world can be filled with noises from the external world, telling us what to do or how we should be. My approach can help you find your true self without imposing my own values or belief on you.
What are the steps?
1
Free 15 min consultation
Let’s get in touch briefly where we both can get a sense of if this will be a good fit. We will also ask brief questions to see if we believe that we could help you. This will also give you a chance to ask any questions or concerns that you might initially have about the practice or myself.
2
Initial consultation
The first visit will be a 60 minute comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. At the end of the session, if we both believe that we are a good fit, we will discuss the recommendation including treatment plan and the frequency of the follow up. It is recommended to complete this in-person, unless there is a specific reason that you can not travel to our office.
3
Follow-up
Based on your initial consultation and availability, we will set up a 45m or 25m follow up sessions based on the treatment plan that is most appropriate for you. It is recommended that the frequency for psychotherapy session is at least once a week and medication management is at least once a month.
