Psychiatric Evaluations
A thorough, unhurried first step toward clarity and a plan that fits you.
About Psychiatric Evaluations

Together, I translate that understanding into a clear, individualized treatment plan that respects your goals and comfort level.

- Medical, psychiatric, and family history

Psychiatric Evaluations FAQs
How is an evaluation different from a follow-up visit?
An initial evaluation is longer and more comprehensive, so there is time to understand your full history. Follow-up visits are shorter and focus on progress and adjustments.
What should I bring?
Your insurance card, a photo ID, a list of current medications and supplements, names of past psychiatric medications, and any relevant records or prior evaluations.
Can my evaluation be done by telehealth?
Yes. Evaluations are available by secure video for patients located in Illinois, or in person at the Chicago office.
