Veteran Psychiatric Services Telehealth— Your First Visit

Your first appointment is a full 60-minute psychiatric evaluation. Not a screening form with a prescription stapled to the back.

We’ll cover your full clinical picture: current symptoms, psychiatric history, medical history, medications, substance use, trauma exposure, sleep, family history, and what’s already been tried. If you’ve been through the VA system or seen other providers, bring whatever records you have — it saves time and helps me avoid repeating things that didn’t work.

By the end of the first visit, you’ll have a working diagnosis, a treatment plan, and a clear explanation of why I’m recommending what I’m recommending. If medication is part of the plan, we start precise and low — no shotgun prescribing.

Follow-Ups — 25-Minute Medication Management + Therapeutic Check-In

Follow-up visits are scheduled at a frequency that matches your clinical needs, not an insurance company’s billing cycle. Early in treatment, that’s usually every 2–4 weeks. Once you’re stable, we stretch to monthly or beyond.

Every follow-up includes a medication review, symptom tracking, side effect monitoring, and brief therapeutic work — meaning we actually talk about what’s going on in your life, not just whether you’re taking your pills. If something isn’t working, we change it. If something is working, we document why so we can protect it.

Where clinical evidence supports it, treatment may incorporate

• NAC — glutamate modulation; evidence base in PTSD and anxiety

• High-EPA omega-3s — depression and neuroinflammation; most veterans are deficient

• Magnesium glycinate — HPA axis regulation and sleep support

• L-theanine — anxiolytic without sedation; sleep architecture support

• Ashwagandha (KSM-66) — cortisol dysregulation and chronic stress

• Evidence-based pharmacotherapy when indicated — prescribed precisely, adjusted until we hit the target

This isn’t a supplement store. Every item on this list has peer-reviewed evidence behind it, and none of it gets recommended without clinical reasoning specific to your presentation.

Deeper Therapeutic Work

Visits may include brief therapeutic work, but Reforge is not a weekly therapy practice. For deeper, ongoing psychotherapy — trauma processing, IFS, EMDR, somatic work — I’ll connect you with vetted trauma specialists I trust. Not a cold referral list. Clinicians I’ve worked with, whose approach I know, and who understand this population.

That’s how this model works. Your prescriber and your therapist coordinating as a team, not operating in silos. The goal is a coordinated team, not a fragmented one.
