Psychiatrists in San Antonio

Your first appointment is an in-depth initial evaluation that reviews your symptoms, medical and mental health history, and personal goals. This information is used to create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.

Initial adult evaluations are typically 60 minutes, while initial evaluations for adolescents are typically 90 minutes. Follow-up visits may range from approximately 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of visit.

The frequency of follow-up visits will vary depending on your needs and the treatment that will help you best. We will discuss a treatment plan, including frequency of follow-up visits with you during your initial evaluation. Typically, follow-ups are monthly and can become as infrequent as every three months once symptoms stabilize. Additionally, various factors may necessitate follow-ups occurring every other week for some patients in the early stages of treatment.
