Our Psychiatric Services

Psychiatric Consultations (60 minutes)

We always start with a psychiatric consultation in order to understand what you are currently experiencing, as well as your individual history and family background. Your psychiatrist will ask specific questions about your current symptoms, general physical health, any recent changes or stressors that you have experienced, and your family (the one you grew up in and/or the one you are living in presently). Then, your psychiatrist will incorporate this information into a treatment plan, which can include medication and/or psychotherapy.

At Thrive, we have ten specialist psychologists who can support you if psychotherapy is recommend. In this case, your psychiatrist will provide you with a letter that you can share with your insurance provider (if you are covered for psychiatry and psychology services).

Medication Review (20 minutes or 30 minutes)

You meet with your psychiatrist at predetermined intervals to touch base about your medication. Specifically, your psychiatrist will ask you about how it is working and whether the dosage needs to be updated. Your psychiatrist will write you a new prescription if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I reach out to a psychiatrist?

We all face difficulties in our lives, but some of them last longer and are more painful than others. A mental health professional - whether it is a psychologist, psychiatrist, or counsellor - can help you reduce your symptoms and learn strategies to help you cope with whatever you are experiencing.

Most people find it relatively easy to reach out to a medical doctor when they are feeling physically unwell, but hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional when they are struggling. Please know that it is ok to reach out for support and that there are evidence-based medications and treatments to help you through your challenges.

Mental health is like physical health - the earlier you seek support, the better (but it is never too late).

Do I have to take medication?

No. At Thrive, we believe in meeting our clients where they are. Your psychiatrist will discuss your treatment options with you after the psychiatric consultation and you can decide together whether medication should be a part of it.

How long will I need to take medication if I decide to go on it?

It depends. Your psychiatrist will discuss your treatment with you after the psychiatric consultation. He will continue to monitor your progress during medication reviews, including whether you want to and need to continue on your medication. Usually, people take medication for several months to a year. However, some chronic conditions may require longer-term medication.

How long will it take the medication to start working?

Can I meet with a psychiatrist online and, if so, how will it work?

Yes. You can meet with your psychiatrist using our secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. We offer online psychiatric consultations and medication review.
