Frequently Asked Questions

At Whole Self Psychiatry, we believe that mental health care should look at the whole person, not just a list of symptoms. Our practice integrates medication management with psychotherapy, lifestyle and behavioral interventions, and personalized exercise prescriptions to help you feel better and live healthier. Every treatment plan is tailored to your goals, and preferences, ensuring that care is both evidence-based and collaborative.

With deep expertise spanning psychiatry, psychotherapy, and exercise physiology, we bring a unique holistic lens to every encounter. Whether you need help fine-tuning medications, making meaningful lifestyle changes, or simply want a more thoughtful and thorough assessment, we’re here to guide you with compassion, skill, and a commitment to lasting well-being.

Your first visit is a collaborative, in-depth assessment designed to truly get to know you. We’ll explore your mental health history, past treatments, and current symptoms alongside your overall medical history and lifestyle. We’ll also talk about what’s worked for you before, what hasn’t, and any personal preferences you have when it comes to medication, therapy, and other supportive interventions.

This comprehensive, whole-person evaluation typically lasts 75–90 minutes. Our goal is to create a personalized plan that reflects your unique background, goals, and values.

Medication can be an important part of a personalized treatment plan, and we will discuss all options with you. Our approach is to prescribe only when clinically indicated, and always with careful attention to your full medical history, past experiences, and personal preferences. Our goal is to support you with the most effective and least burdensome treatment—whether that involves medication, therapy, lifestyle strategies, or a combination of all three.

If medication is part of your plan, we’ll monitor you closely and adjust as needed to ensure safety, minimize side effects, and help you feel your best.
