FAQ
Psychiatric services may be helpful for children, adolescents, young adults, and adults whose anxiety, OCD, or related symptoms significantly interfere with daily life. Medication is not the right choice for everyone, but for some individuals, it can reduce symptom severity and make it easier to fully engage in evidence-based therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP).
Yes. We are happy to collaborate with your existing psychiatrist whenever possible. If you already have a trusted medication provider, our clinical team will coordinate care to help ensure your treatment plan remains consistent and well integrated.
Your initial appointment includes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Your psychiatrist will review your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, current medications, and treatment goals. Together, you’ll discuss whether medication may be appropriate and develop a plan that complements your therapy.
The frequency of appointments depends on your individual needs and treatment plan. Early in treatment, appointments may occur more frequently while medications are being started or adjusted. Once symptoms are stable, follow-up visits are typically scheduled at regular intervals to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Treatment plans are highly individualized. Depending on your diagnosis and symptoms, psychiatrists may recommend medications commonly used to treat anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other evidence-based options. Your psychiatrist will review the potential benefits, side effects, and expected timeline before starting any medication.
