More about Dr JOur approach
Respectful.
Inclusive.
Individualized.
Every patient brings a different history, background, and set of goals. Your evaluation considers your medical and psychiatric history, personal experiences, cultural values, identity, and care needs.
You deserve a setting where you feel seen, heard, and valued. You are encouraged to ask questions and take an active role in treatment decisions.
Care includes psychiatric evaluations, medication management when appropriate, and brief therapeutic support. When ongoing therapy is needed, we can assist with referrals.
