Approach to Care

Approach

A first appointment will include a thorough history of your past psychiatric concerns and treatment as well as a thorough assessment of your ongoing mental health needs and concerns. The first appointment will conclude with a straightforward assessment of your ongoing diagnosis(es) and feedback regarding the information you have shared. Oftentimes a second appointment will be necessary within a week of the first evaluation appointment in which we'll then discuss treatment options.

What to expect

Dr. Wright's professional interest is in mind-body wellness, which is also sometimes referred to as "Lifestyle Psychiatry.” She believes in psychotropic medication management as one of the tenants of overall wellness but recognizes that medications have limitations; She hopes to help patients use the medications to get well enough to then lean on more non-medicinal interventions such as psychotherapy, exercise, diet and socialization to reach their full potential. To that end, if Dr. Wright feels you would benefit from working with an outside therapist in conjunction with medication management, she welcomes collaboration with your therapy provider.
