Our patient intake process ensures a smooth transition into treatment. The process officially begins when we receive information to schedule an appointment and the patient shows up for the appointment. The steps that follow are the same for any new patient:
Psychiatry Intake Process

Prescription
Psychiatric counseling is recommended in addition to a psychotropic medications regime to treat mental illnesses.
