Clinical philosophy
A diagnosis is a starting point, not a verdict
A label is useful exactly as far as it tells you what to try next. When it stops doing that, she says so and revisits it rather than defending it.
Medication and therapy are not a ranking. Most people do best with some of both, and the useful question is which one to change when things are not moving.
First appointments run an hour because a psychiatric history taken in twenty minutes is a history missing the part that matters. Follow-ups are shorter and more frequent.

The first appointment was an hour. Nobody had ever asked me the whole story before, and the plan was different because of it.
Rosa IglesiasPatient since 2021She helped me come off a tablet I had been on for nine years, slowly, and checked in every fortnight while I did.
Daniel ChoPatient since 2018She said the label I had been given no longer fit and changed it. It was a relief, not a setback.
Maya EllisonPatient since 2020
