Frequently Asked Questions
During your first appointment, we will begin with a warm welcome and an introduction to our services. You'll have an initial consultation where we’ll discuss your needs, goals, and any concerns you may have. This helps us tailor our approach specifically for you.
Next, we will review any necessary paperwork and gather relevant information about your history. We will get to know you by asking about your medical history, current symptoms, and any previous treatments. Finally, outline a plan for future sessions, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed about the next steps. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where you can thrive.
Therapy sessions offer a safe, confidential space to discuss your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Depending on your needs, therapy can involve exploring past experiences, learning coping skills, or addressing specific concerns. We aim to work collaboratively with you, offering guidance and support as you navigate your mental health journey. Every session is tailored to you, and progress may look different for everyone.
The length of your appointment can vary. Initial psychiatric evaluations typically last between 45 to 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are often shorter, around 15 to 25 minutes. Therapy sessions generally last between 45 and 55 minutes. We’ll let you know, in advance, how long to expect your session to be so you can plan accordingly.

A psychiatric nurse practitioner is a licensed medical professional who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and manage treatment. They often provide medication management and may offer some forms of therapy. A therapist, on the other hand, focuses on talk therapy and helps patients process emotions, develop coping strategies, and work on personal growth. Both roles are essential in mental health care and collaborate to provide comprehensive treatment.
