- Symptoms are affecting sleep, work, school, or relationships

At Sagebrush Psychiatry our mission is to improve access to mental health services for patients that reside in Nevada, Alaska, and Arizona. Our practice is mostly telemedicine, but we do conduct in person office visits when deemed necessary and require in person appointments for patients taking controlled substances. Telemedicine allows us to provide more immediate and flexible scheduling to meet each patient’s needs. Many of our patients report that conducting their appointments from home is not only more convenient, but less stressful. Currently we are accepting new patients and in network with most major insurances. We strive to form a collaborative relationship with each patient and develop an individualized treatment plan to achieve results.
Initial Diagnostic Evaluation
Initial diagnostic evaluations consist of a comprehensive interview to explore the reasons for your visit, past psychiatric history, medical history, and social history. Patients transferring care will often be asked to sign a release of information form so that we can obtain medical records from your previous prescriber and review your treatment history prior to your appointment. During the evaluation, patients will be given the opportunity to ask questions and have treatment options explained. At Sagebrush Psychiatry we want every patient to understand treatment options and make informed decisions. Our goal is to develop an evidence-based treatment plan where you understand the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option. Our prescriptive philosophy is to get patients feeling better with as few medications as possible and at the lowest dose that adequately addresses problematic symptoms.
Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments are used to assess a patient’s response to medication and other interventions. We will often use evidence-based tools such as psychometric scales to objectively track progress. This is the time you and your clinician will discuss possible changes to your treatment plan to achieve treatment goals.
