Start Today with a Convenient and Affordable Mental Health Evaluation

New patients at SANA begin their care with a comprehensive evaluation lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. During this evaluation, you will meet with a provider to understand the reasons for seeking treatment and to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Topics covered during the evaluation include:

  • Review of current symptoms
  • Discussion of medical and family history
  • Screening for common psychiatric disorders
  • Gaining insight into your life and circumstances
  • Assessment of previous treatments received
  • valuation of various treatment options, including their pros and cons
  • Establishing a doctor-patient relationship

Establishing Care / Clinical services

For first time patients, you give consent for yourself/child to receive a comprehensive diagnostic assessment. Establishment of a doctor-patient relationship will be a mutual decision following the initial evaluations. In the event that it is determined that your needs would be better served under a different model of care or with a different provider, I will provide you with appropriate referrals.

Patient Evaluation of other conditions:

We will explore your current symptoms and review your medical and mental health history, including any previous treatments you have received. Our provider will also screen for common psychiatric disorders, discuss your medical and family history, and learn more about you and your life. This process may take more than one appointment. 

The initial consultation is an opportunity for you and your provider to determine if this is a good fit for your psychiatric care. Your provider will discuss various treatment options with you, including the pros and cons of each, and may request medical records or order laboratory tests. 

Reasons for Seeking a New Patient Evaluation:

  • Second opinion regarding diagnosis, treatment setting, psychotherapy, and/or medications 
  • Unclear diagnosis
  • Illnesses that have proven resistant to standard treatment
