Ideally my patient is as invested in their care as I am. They may have a variety of diagnoses, but what they share in common is that they are willing to give the process time, are open to new ideas, and recognize that there is no magic pill to fix all their problems. My patients want to get to the best version of themselves and are willing to try therapy as well as medications to help them reach that goal. My patient wants an empathetic, listening provider who can guide their care based on the evidence, but tailored to their individual needs.
