At Tortoise Mental Health, I offer medication management that goes beyond checklists and dosage adjustments
Thoughtful, holistic psychiatric care –
grounded in science, delivered with compassion.
My sessions are longer than the typical psychiatry visit because they’re designed to include brief, supportive therapy alongside medication support. You’ll have space to reflect, ask questions, and make meaningful progress — without feeling rushed.

Pre-intake screening
Start by completing a brief screening to make sure we’re a good fit. If so, we’ll reach out to schedule your initial evaluation.
Initial Evaluation (60-90 minutes)
We’ll take our time discussing your current concerns, history, and goals. Then, we'll build a holistic treatment plan that feels right for you.
Ongoing Visits (20–60 minutes)
Supportive check-ins every 1-3 months. Beyond just getting a prescription refill, these appointments give us time to evaluate your goals + progress along the way.
