What is the difference between an initial evaluation and a follow-up appointment?

our first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation where we discuss your mental health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals to build a personalized care plan. Follow-up appointments are shorter check-ins focused on monitoring your response to treatment, adjusting medications if needed, and supporting your ongoing progress.

Can I receive psychiatric medication management via telehealth in Arizona?

No. Medication refills require a scheduled appointment so your provider can monitor your progress, discuss any concerns, and ensure your treatment remains safe and effective.

Do I have to choose between telehealth and in-person care?

Not at all. You have the flexibility to choose what works best for your schedule and comfort level. You can complete all your visits via telehealth from anywhere in Arizona, see us in person at our Lakeside office, or switch between the two as needed.
