03 / THE FIRST CONSULTATION
What happens inside a sixty-minute clinical intake.
Conventional healthcare fragments your mind and body into rushed 12-minute slots. Our initial intake is structured as a comprehensive, unhurried clinical conversation.
MIN 00 — 15
Lived History & Nervous-System Mapping
We begin without clipboards or screens between us—understanding your symptoms, sleep quality, work rhythm, and prior care.
MIN 15 — 40
Diagnostic, Biomarker & Relational Synthesis
For medical and nutrition intakes, we review prior labs and physiological markers; for psychotherapy, we trace relational patterns.
MIN 40 — 60
Written Care Plan & PPO Superbill Setup
You leave your first session with a clear written clinical roadmap, recommended cadence, and automated monthly insurance setup.
04 / CLINICAL LEADERSHIP
Licensed specialists who confer together on your care.
