Emotional distress can take many different forms, from interfering with one’s ability to work at capacity, or to have satisfying relationships, to debilitating illness. An important first step is to see a caring professional, who can listen and carefully assess not only symptoms, but the context in which they occur, as well as one’s particular strengths in coping with life’s difficulties. After a comprehensive evalutation, treatment recommendations for psychotherapy, medications, or referrals for other services can be made. Every first appointment in this office is a consultation, after which doctor and patient decide whether ongoing treatment is indicated.
