Services
Ást Healthcare Services provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy for older adults through secure telehealth visits.
Care is individualized and may include a thorough review of symptoms, medical history, current medications, treatment goals, and medication-related concerns. Follow-up visits focus on monitoring progress, discussing benefits and side effects, and making thoughtful adjustments when appropriate.
Supportive psychotherapy may be included during visits to help patients cope with emotional concerns, life changes, loss, caregiving responsibilities, and other stressors. When ongoing or more intensive psychotherapy would be beneficial, I provide referrals and care coordination with an appropriate therapist or behavioral health professional.
