Time to be understood
A first appointment long enough to actually explain things, in your own words, without being moved along.
Great to meet you

Most people who get in touch have been carrying something for a while. Some have been told it is stress and to wait it out. Some have tried once before and did not feel heard. Whatever brought you here, the starting point is the same: a proper conversation about what has actually been happening, and enough time to have it.

Four things that shape every appointment
01
The whole person, not the presenting symptom
Physical health, social circumstances and environment all shape mental health, and none of them are separate from it. An assessment that ignores your sleep, your work or the people around you is not a complete assessment.
02
Decisions made with you, not for you
Where medication would help, you should understand what it is for, what it asks of you, and what happens if you would rather not. A plan you did not agree to is a plan you will stop following, and reasonably so.
03
Nothing you say is going to be too much
Thoughts of self-harm, anger you are ashamed of, things you have never told anyone: these are ordinary parts of this work. Saying them out loud is what makes them treatable.
04
Working with your primary care provider, not around them
Where it helps, care is coordinated with your PCP. Mental health and physical health are not separate systems, and treatment goes better when the people looking after both are talking to each other rather than guessing.
A holistic approach
I consider the holistic well-being of my clients, taking into account physical, social, and environmental factors that may impact mental health. Clients receive comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs.
In practice that means the first appointment goes wider than you might expect. Sleep, pain, alcohol, money worries, shift patterns, who is at home and who is not: these are not small talk. They are frequently where the answer is.
Thorough assessment, and a compassionate reading of it
Clients can expect thorough assessments and a compassionate understanding of their individual mental health concerns. Treatment may also include medication management to address conditions such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Compassion, not assessment fatigue
Your concerns are taken at face value. You will not have to prove them before they count.
Medication management
For conditions such as anxiety, depression and ADHD, with the reasoning set out and the alternatives named.
Review, not set and forget
Follow-up appointments to check how treatment is working, and to change course when it is not.
For service members, veterans and the people around them
Having served, Geofrey K Kosgei does not need the culture explained to him first. That includes the families who carry a good deal of it: partners, parents and adult children of people who have served are welcome here too.
Ready when you are.
There is no right way to start the conversation, and no version of it that is too small to bring.
