Initial Assessment

An initial appointment with Dr. Nordquist generally starts with an extended meeting lasting approximately 90 minutes. During this time she works to understand a person's concerns in the context of his or her own individual past experiences and current circumstances. She may also review previous records, speak with other health care providers or family members as appropriate, or order additional medical testing if needed. Often a treatment plan can be developed by the end of the session, although at times this initial evaluation or consultation may span several sessions.

Based on the initial assessment, Dr. Nordquist will make personalized recommendations specific to a person's unique situation and needs. Although Dr. Nordquist primarily provides psychotherapy and medication in her practice, she is familiar with and will consider numerous treatment forms throughout consultation and treatment. These may include mindfulness meditation training, interventional procedures such as TMS, ECT, and ketamine, couple or group therapies, nutritional guidance, additional medical evaluations, or a more intensive treatment setting. She will make referrals to and collaborate with such resources as appropriate.
