What a Real Psychiatric Consultation Looks Like

A behavioral health consultation at Anchor Restorative Medicine isn't a checklist. It's a conversation — one where your provider takes time to understand how you're feeling, what you've tried, what hasn't worked, and what kind of support will actually make a difference in your life.

What our behavioral health consultations include:

  • Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and symptom assessment

  • Review of mental health history, prior diagnoses, and treatment history

  • Evaluation for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and PTSD

  • Medication review and management recommendations

  • Coordination with primary care for integrated treatment when needed

  • Referrals to therapy or specialist psychiatric care when appropriate

Ideal Candidate

Who Should Schedule a Behavioral Health Consultation?

A behavioral health consultation is the right starting point if you're experiencing mental health symptoms and haven't yet been evaluated — or if you've been managing your mental health without clinical support and want a more structured approach.

This is a good fit if you:

  • Are experiencing persistent anxiety, low mood, mood swings, or difficulty concentrating

  • Have been managing symptoms on your own without a formal diagnosis

  • Want a clinical evaluation before starting or changing medication

  • Are an existing patient whose mental health has changed and needs reassessment

  • Are a parent seeking evaluation for a teenager (13 and older)

*We specialize in psychiatric evaluation and medication management — not long-term talk therapy. If ongoing counseling is part of your needs, we're happy to provide referrals to qualified therapists.

Process Overview

How a Behavioral Health Consultation Works

1. Initial Intake

Before your appointment, you'll complete a brief mental health history form. This helps your provider come prepared and makes the most of your time together.

2. Psychiatric Evaluation

Your provider conducts a structured clinical interview — reviewing your symptoms, history, current stressors, and treatment goals. This is a conversation, not a test.

3. Diagnosis & Recommendations

Based on your evaluation, your provider will share findings, discuss any diagnoses, and outline a recommended treatment plan — which may include medication, referrals, or lifestyle recommendations.

4. Follow-Up & Ongoing Care

If medication is prescribed, we schedule a follow-up to monitor your response and adjust as needed. Mental health care is not a one-visit fix — we stay involved.

"Lakisha is a fantastic provider! She listens and collaborates with her patients and is very skilled at inserting the hormone pellets. I’ve done this many times and she provides a smaller area of bruising than I’ve had with other providers and it’s virtually pain free! Lakisha has gone over and above to provide exceptional care!"
