Our Process | mybrainandsoul.com

Our process is grounded in the belief that the physician-patient relationship is based on mutual consent and collaboration.

The initial visit is a consultation and does not establish a treatment relationship unless agreed upon by both individuals

Every aspect of your person is connected and should be included in a wellness lifestyle. We require that you have a Primary Care Physician and commit to annual health maintenance visits with them

A typical patient visit with us involves an evaluation, a consultation, and a specific plan

Our role in some instances will involve evaluating you and developing a treatment plan (in consultation with your Primary Care Physician) to be executed by your Primary Care Physician

Brief psychotherapy (also known as "talk therapy") is incorporated into every patient visit. Extensive talk therapy could be recommended to complement your treatment

The information you share with us is kept private and can only be released with your permission, with few exceptions, such as:
- Situations where there is reason to believe that your life or the life of another person is in danger
- To protect a child, elderly person, or persons with disability from abuse or neglect
- When there is concern for risk of death or serious injury (e.g., in the case of substance abuse or dangerous medication interactions), that requires limited communication with other treating clinicians

Despite collaboration being at the heart of everything we do, there may be rare occasions when we are legally mandated to initiate a treatment plan without your agreement if it is determined that severe symptoms of mental illness are evident and that the illness:
- Presents an immediate risk to your safety or the safety of others
- Interferes with your ability to care for your basic needs and is likely to have a devastating outcome without appropriate intervention

WE VALUE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INCLUDED AS A PARTNER IN YOUR WELLNESS JOURNEY AND CONSIDER IT A PRIVILEGE.
