Psychiatric Evaluation
Psychiatric Care onsite or online.
We’ll need to first conduct mental health assessments or psychological screenings
Psychiatric evaluation is the process of collecting information about our patients to make a diagnosis and plan out a treatment. It is the first step in the treatment process. The evaluation is designed to diagnose the emotional, behavioral, or developmental conditions of an individual. For convenience, our psychiatric team members may perform comprehensive assessments using telehealth. You can talk to our professionals in real-time over the internet on your device.
