A thoughtful place to begin

Psychiatric evaluations

A psychiatric evaluation is a thoughtful clinical conversation that helps your provider understand your concerns, health history, strengths, and goals before discussing next steps together.

What this service involves

A comprehensive, compassionate conversation to better understand what you have been carrying and what support may help.

  • Time to share what has felt difficult and what you hope may change.
  • A respectful review of relevant health, mental-health, and medication history.
  • Clear, collaborative discussion of questions and possible care options.

Who this may help

Patients ages 16 and older who are ready to explore support for ongoing mental-health concerns or are looking for a new perspective.

Questions you may have

Helpful information about psychiatric evaluations.

What should I bring to an evaluation?

If available, have your medication list, relevant health history, insurance information, and any questions you would like to discuss. The appointment team can make the practical steps feel easy before your visit.

Will I receive a diagnosis during the first visit?

Dr. Couyoute will talk through what is appropriate for your individual needs. Sometimes a complete understanding develops over more than one conversation.
