For new patients
Welcome — here's what to expect.
Starting care can feel like a big step. We've made the process clear, simple, and low-pressure so you can focus on what matters most: feeling better.
The process
Your first visit, step by step.
From booking to follow-up, here's exactly how getting started works.
1. Schedule on Tebra
Choose a time that works for you and verify your insurance benefits in real time.
2. Complete intake
Share your history, medications, and current concerns through a secure intake form.
3. Initial evaluation (45–60 min)
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to clarify diagnosis and discuss your goals.
4. Personalized plan
We co-create a treatment plan — therapy, medication, or both — built around your life.
5. Ongoing care
Follow-up visits to monitor progress, adjust medications, and continue therapy.
What to expect
A first visit that actually feels welcoming.
The first session is a conversation. We'll talk about what brought you in, what's worked (and hasn't), and where you'd like to be. No rushed checklists — just a thoughtful, focused hour.
Privacy first
Your visit is conducted on a HIPAA-compliant platform. Notes are stored securely and never shared without your consent.
No judgment
Patrick brings warmth, curiosity, and respect to every conversation. There are no wrong answers.
Collaborative care
You're the expert on your life. We build the plan together — informed by evidence, guided by your goals.
Clear next steps
You'll leave each visit knowing exactly what's next: medication, exercises, follow-up dates.
Intake forms
Once your appointment is confirmed, you'll receive a secure link to complete your intake paperwork electronically. Plan on 10–15 minutes. The more detail you share up front, the more focused your first visit can be.
