Evaluation & Diagnosis

Description: This is your first appointment with our provider Arlene. During this appointment, information will be gathered about the nature and history of your symptoms as well as information about any past psychiatric treatment. A diagnosis will be determined, and we will develop a treatment plan. Medications can be provided at this first appointment if determined to be appropriate. If you can, please provide a copy of your most recent lab work and blood pressure.

Medication Management

Medication management is an essential aspect of comprehensive mental health care. It refers to the evaluation, recommendation, and ongoing monitoring of medications by a psychiatric team to address mental health conditions. Currently, one in six Americans take some form of mental health medication. With several hundred psychiatric medications available on the market, finding the medicines most suited to treating an individual’s mental health condition can be overwhelming. We remain informed of the most up-to-date research on medications. This allows us to help guide you to a medication that meets your specific needs.

ADHD Evaluation and treatment

When determining an ADHD diagnosis, we begin with a thorough ADHD evaluation that might include a review of your medical history, and symptoms. After we have reached a diagnosis, we will discuss the treatments we offer that are best suited for your situation. We want to support our patients on their journey to take back their lives, which includes personalized treatment options that fit their unique needs. Depending on the full spectrum of your medical history and mental health needs, prescription medication, or a combination of therapies could be included in your treatment plan.

Identify if You Have a Qualifying Condition: Individuals with one or more of the conditions listed in the Utah Medical Cannabis Act are authorized to receive a medical cannabis patient card. The conditions include chronic pain, cancer, HIV or AIDS, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, PTSD, and several other medical conditions that significantly impact daily living. Restrictions: Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. We advise you to consult you Human Resource Department at work to ensure that you are eligible for a cannabis card without jeopardizing your employment.
