Empowering Change with Geraldine Sweeney Psychotherapy

There are times when psychiatric consultation can enhance and complement psychotherapy. Through Psychotherapy Matters Virtual Care (PMVC), psychiatric expertise can be integrated into ongoing treatment in collaboration with your therapist and primary care provider.

The consultation is collaborative, with the client, therapist, and psychiatrist meeting together. The psychiatrist provides specialized assessment and treatment recommendations, while the therapist provides clinical context and remains involved in ongoing care.

A psychiatric consultation may be helpful when additional assessment is needed to better understand symptoms, when diagnostic clarification may be beneficial, or when medication or other treatment options should be considered.

Consultation is considered after a minimum of two psychotherapy sessions and requires the involvement of a primary care provider as part of the referral process.

Psychotherapy continues following the consultation, allowing recommendations to be considered within the context of ongoing treatment.
