Safe one-on-one sessions to explore who you are and how you can create new possibilities
Welcome to the first step on your journey towards mental wellness. At Twins Caring Hands, we recognize the importance of a thorough psychiatric evaluation as the foundation for effective treatment. Led by our dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Lara Adeyemi, DNP, our approach is rooted in compassion, expertise, and a commitment to understanding the unique story of each individual
A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to diagnose any potential psychiatric disorders and outline a tailored treatment plan. It involves a detailed exploration of your mental health history, current symptoms, life circumstances, and any physical issues that may influence your mental wellbeing. This holistic approach ensures that we address all factors contributing to your mental health.
Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with an initial consultation where you'll meet with Lara Adeyemi, DNP. This session provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, symptoms, and any specific challenges you're facing.
Comprehensive Assessment: We delve deeper with a comprehensive assessment that includes discussions about your medical history, mental health history, lifestyle, and any social or environmental factors impacting your wellbeing. This may also involve standardized questionnaires or scales to assess the severity and impact of symptoms.
Physical Examination: In some cases, a physical examination or laboratory tests may be recommended to rule out any physical causes for psychiatric symptoms.
Collaborative Treatment Planning: Based on the evaluation, we collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, and other interventions tailored to your needs.
Beginning with a psychiatric evaluation is a courageous step towards understanding yourself and embarking on a path to healing and balance. At Twins Caring Hands, we're here to support you with expertise and empathy at every step of your mental health journey.
