    FIRST APPOINTMENT

    I provide psychiatric evaluations and on-going medication management for adult clients (18+). Until further notice all visits are taking place via teleheatlh. The first appointment, or psychiatric evaluation, lasts 60 minutes. It is important for me to understand your symptoms and struggles, as well as your strengths. We will review your history and begin to develop a treatment plan.

    Please complete this form and email it to me at: michele@micheleadam.com before your first appointment, along with your insurance card and method of payment.

    If you are unable to send this form by email, please have your form(s) as well as images of your insurance card available on your computer. We can transfer your documents through the conferencing software.

    MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

    Follow-up visits last 20-30 minutes. After your initial visit, we will meet every 2-3 weeks, until you are feeling better. Typically clients generally follow-up every 1-3 months.

    While I do not provide in-depth therapy, I strongly believe it is an important component of treatment. Research supports the notion that medication is more effective when used in conjunction with therapy.
