Services
Psychiatric care, paced for thinking — not for rushing.
A typical care plan begins with a 45-minute intake, then 15-minute medication checks as often as your treatment requires. Every plan is individualized; nothing here is one-size-fits-all.
Visit types
What an appointment looks like.
Initial intake
45 minutes · video or in person
A careful first conversation. We'll cover your history, current symptoms, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping for. We end with a working diagnostic impression and a recommended plan you can think over before we start.
Medication management
15 minutes · video or in person
Med checks to start, adjust, or taper medication safely. We monitor response, side effects, labs as needed, and the parts of life the medication is meant to support. Prescriptions are sent to the pharmacy of your choice.
Screening call
10 minutes · phone
A brief, no-cost phone call to make sure Isla Psychiatry is a good fit, answer basic questions, and discuss next steps before scheduling an intake.
