In your initial appointment, Dr. Philippi will talk about your specific concerns and discuss several screening questions. This will allow you to clarify the challenges and the goals together in order to determine the best treatment approach.

 

Treatment may consist of medication alone, therapy alone, or a combination of the two. Some people have a strong preference for only medication or only therapy, and this plays a significant role in determining treatment. That said, Dr. Philippi will always give you her opinion if she believes another treatment approach would be helpful for you or provide recommended referrals for ongoing care if it is determined that another doctor would better serve your needs.
