Ideally my patient is as invested in their care as I am. They could have a variety of diagnoses but the thing they have in common is they are willing to give the process time, are open to new ideas, and know 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.

A favored question of mine to ask at the beginning of a therapy relationship: "in a year from now - if the work we do together is successful, what are some things that you would find yourself being able to do more of?" I am excited to work with people who are motivated to meet their mental health goals through therapy - and, for those who are interested in it, exploring combinations of therapy and behavioral health medications.
