Plan #2: Integrative/Functional Psychiatric Assessment & Treatment

Goal:

The Integrative/Functional Psychiatric Assessment & Treatment Plan builds upon the Essential Plan by offering a more comprehensive approach to mental and emotional health. The goal is to relieve your symptoms, enhance your quality of life, and optimize your mental and emotional well-being through a combination of carefully selected medication (when necessary), solution-focused psychotherapy, and holistic/functional medicine approaches.

This Plan is Suitable for You If:

Included in the Plan:

- A comprehensive pre-session questionnaire to evaluate your psychiatric history, medical history, lifestyle habits, and treatment goals.

- Follow-up appointments as needed (25 or 50 minutes).
