Sagebrush Psychiatry
At Sagebrush Psychiatry our mission is to improve access to mental health services for clients aged 18 years and older that reside in Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii and Nevada. Our practice is primarily virtual, but we conduct in person office visits when deemed necessary. Telepsychiatry allows us to provide more immediate and flexible scheduling to meet each client’s needs. Many of our clients report that conducting their appointments from home is not only significantly more convenient for them, but it also results in lower levels of anxiety. Currently we are accepting new patients. We strive to form a collaborative relationship with each client and develop an individualized treatment plan to achieve results.
Initial Diagnostic Evaluation
Initial diagnostic evaluations are conducted over the course of 60 minutes. They consist of a comprehensive interview to explore past psychiatric history, medical history, and reason for current visit. Each client will be afforded the opportunity ask questions and have treatment options explained. At Sagebrush Psychiatry we want each client to be able to understand treatment options and make informed decisions. Our goal is to develop an evidence-based treatment plan where every client understands the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option. Our prescriptive philosophy is to treat mental illness effectively with as few medications as possible and at the lowest dose that adequately addresses problematic symptoms.
Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments typically last anywhere from 20-30 minutes and are used to assess each client’s response to medication and treatment. Often this will involve the use of evidence-based screening tools and self-reported scales to objectively track progress. This is the time the client and clinician will also discuss any changes or modifications to the treatment plan and the clinician may engage in brief supportive psychotherapy to assist in reaching treatment goals.
