FAQs About Psychiatric Care in Palos Heights, IL
What is the difference between psychiatric care and therapy?
Psychiatric care, often provided by a psychiatric specialist, can include diagnosis and medication management. Therapy, or psychotherapy, involves talking with a trained therapist to develop coping skills. At Solstice Collective, we often recommend a combination of both for the most effective treatment.
Will I be required to take medication?
Medication is a tool, not a requirement for everyone. Your provider will discuss all available options with you, and the decision to include medication in your treatment plan will be made collaboratively.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
Your first appointment is a comprehensive assessment where your provider will listen to your concerns, review your history, and discuss your goals. This initial meeting is focused on understanding your needs to develop an effective, personalized treatment plan.
How often will I have appointments?
The frequency of your appointments will depend on your individual needs and treatment plan. Initially, you may meet with your provider more often to establish care and monitor progress, with session frequency adjusted over time as you make progress.
