We'll work together to craft your treatment plan

 

Preliminary Telephone Discussion

The first step in working with Sydney is a brief initial phone interview. She’ll talk with you about your challenges, goals, treatment history, and availability -- and set up an appointment for a longer comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. 

Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation

All treatment begins with a thorough evaluation as treatment needs are different for everyone. After discussing your symptoms, social history, and medical history, Sydney will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific goals.

Medication Management and Psychotherapy

Using evidence-based care, Sydney empowers patients to identify and implement a solution-focused treatment plan, which might include therapy, medication, or some combination. Sydney works with you to determine what is right for you.
