Follow-up Medication Management Sessions
After the initial evaluation appointment, follow-up sessions are scheduled. These appointments are up to 30 or 60 minutes in length and provide an opportunity to discuss the treatment plan, assess symptomatology and day-to-day functioning. Medication benefits and side effects are reviewed and medications are adjusted, if needed.
The frequency of follow-up appointments is based on the complexity of each individual's symptoms. Generally, patients are seen every 6-8 weeks in follow-up. To continue to receive care and medication management, all patients must be seen at least once each year. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled as in-person or via Google Meet.
Therapy
While therapy is not the primary focus of the practice, each clinician has limited availability to provide therapy sessions at their discretion.
Therapists within the building can also be contacted directly for these services. In addition, we collaborate with a variety of therapists in the community and are happy to provide referrals.
Missed Appointments & Late Cancellations
A minimum of one business day's notice is required to reschedule or cancel a scheduled follow-up appointment, otherwise the client will be charged the full appointment fee. Missed appointments will also be charged the full appointment fee. A minimum of 2 business days' notice is required to reschedule or cancel an INITIAL appointment, otherwise the deposit will be forfeited.
