Your First Visit
Your first appointment is a consultation visit to determine whether the Olive Space Psychiatry LLC is the right place for you. This is the time when you will sit down with Dr. Bagayogo and discuss what you are experiencing that is distressing to you. We will also discuss treatment goals at that time. If a determination is made that the Olive Space Psychiatry LLC is the right place for you, a formal treatment relationship will be established and an individualized treatment plan that suits your needs will be put in place. For adolescent clients, the initial assessment may require more than one consultation, given that additional information may be required from parents, other caretakers and the school. Learn more.
Please note that the initial consultation does not guarantee the establishment of a treatment relationship or that prescriptions will be provided. If a determination is made that the Olive Space Psychiatry LLC isn’t a good fit, Dr. Bagayogo may refer you to other providers.
