Treatment

My practice offers a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation, which can be arranged by calling 617-733-0165. The phone consultation gives us an opportunity to determine if my practice might be a good fit for your treatment goals, and if so, to schedule an 80-minute initial consultation appointment.

After an initial consultation appointment is scheduled, I will send you a link to your Patient Portal account within my HIPAA-compliant Electronic Medical Record (EMR), where you can input your demographic information and review practice forms prior to the appointment. Any incomplete information will need to be obtained during time allotted to the initial consultation appointment itself.

At the initial consultation appointment, we will review your reasons for seeking treatment, prior history, and goals. I will screen for potential psychiatric and medical diagnoses, address any questions you might have about psychotherapy within my practice, and with you, collaboratively develop a treatment plan.

If we determine that your treatment plan will involve psychotherapy within my practice, subsequent 50-minute psychotherapy appointments will focus upon your individual treatment needs, and may range in frequency from twice weekly to every two weeks. For patients in my psychotherapy practice who have psychiatric diagnoses requiring psychopharmacology, this component of treatment is integrated into the 50-minute psychotherapy appointment.
