EVALUATION & DIAGNOSIS
Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis is the process of collecting information about your mental health, behaviors, lifestyle and overall functioning, by talking to a trained professional who can help you identify any mental disorders or problems that may affect your well- being. This includes current symptoms, past treatment responses and family history. We conveniently offer in-person and telehealth appointment options.
After completing the psychiatric evaluation, your provider will discuss the findings and recommendations with you. They will also explain the benefits and risks of different treatment options and help you makes an informed decision about your care. The provider may also provide referrals to other services or resources that may be beneficial to you. You should keep in mind that a psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis is not a label or a judgement of who you are as a person. It is simply a tool to help you understand yourself better and get the best possible care for your needs.
