Adults who are ready for a more careful approach
This practice is designed for a specific kind of patient - not everyone, and that's intentional. If what follows sounds familiar, this may be a good fit.
This practice may be a good fit if you:
- Have been told you have depression, then bipolar disorder, then anxiety — with different treatments each time, and none of them fully worked
- Have tried two or more antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or stimulants without meaningful, lasting improvement
- Have a diagnosis that was given quickly and never fully explained — and it has never quite matched your actual experience
- Want to understand what you're taking and why before you agree to continue, change, or add a medication
- Have a medical condition — thyroid dysfunction, sleep apnea, chronic pain, hormonal changes — that has never been considered alongside your psychiatric symptoms
- Are seeking an independent second opinion before making a major decision about your care
People often come to this practice when…
Prior treatment didn't lead to the results they hoped for
Medication helped partially. Symptoms improved in some areas but not others. The overall picture never fully resolved.
They're not sure their diagnosis is right
They've been told they have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or ADHD - but the label has never fully explained their experience.
They've seen multiple providers with different conclusions
Each provider offered a different diagnosis or treatment plan, and there was never a thorough re-evaluation that made sense of the whole picture.
They want to understand before they commit
They're considering a new medication or a significant change in treatment, and they want an independent, careful evaluation before proceeding.
What this practice focuses on
The MindCounsel has an emphasis on mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, and the intersection of psychiatric care with metabolic and overall physical health. The approach is evaluation-first: understanding the full picture before making or changing recommendations.
This is not a high-volume practice. Appointments are longer, evaluations are more thorough, and the goal is always to make decisions you fully understand and agree with.
Who may not be the right fit
Being transparent about this saves everyone time.
This practice may not be the right fit if you need same-day or urgent crisis care - telehealth has real limitations in acute situations, and a higher level of care would be more appropriate.
It may also not be the right fit if you are looking for a provider who will continue or adjust a current prescription without a thorough evaluation first. Treatment decisions here are made carefully, based on a full understanding of your history and goals.
If you are unsure, the New Patients page explains what the first visit looks like and what to expect.
