Psychiatric Evaluation

What Is a Psychiatric Evaluation?

Your first step toward psychiatric care is a comprehensive evaluation—a dedicated space to explore what you’re experiencing, how it’s impacting your life, and what kind of support will be most helpful.

This 60-minute intake session is ideal if you’re seeking a first-time diagnosis, updating an existing one, transferring care from another provider, or exploring a second opinion.

During the evaluation, we take time to understand your full story—your symptoms, goals, medical and mental health history, and the context of your life. If additional time is needed, extended sessions up to 90 minutes are available and billed at $450.

Who This Is For

Who Is This Evaluation For?

Our psychiatric evaluations are open to clients ages 6 and up. This service is especially helpful if you are:

  • Starting mental health care for the first time

  • Seeking ADHD or genetic testing (evaluation required first)

  • Looking for thoughtful medication management

  • Transitioning from another provider

  • In need of a fresh, collaborative perspective on diagnosis and treatment

We welcome all identities and backgrounds. Whether you’ve felt dismissed in previous care or are looking for someone who really listens—this is a safe place to start again.

What to Expect During Your Session

This is a conversation, not an interrogation. Your provider will guide a thoughtful discussion around:

  • Current symptoms and concerns

  • Medical and psychiatric history

  • Life stressors, goals, and values

  • Past treatment experiences

  • Your preferences moving forward

By the end of the session, we’ll offer clear recommendations for next steps, which may include therapy, medication, ADHD testing, coaching, or lifestyle changes. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your mental health—and what support makes sense for you.
