Psychiatric Evaluations
An evaluation includes a clinical interview and review of your history to identify and describe current emotional or behavioral concerns. This may include a formal diagnosis and always includes recommendations for next steps, which could involve medication options, therapy modalities, or adjunctive treatment.

Dr. Julia Black draws on psychoanalytic principles as well as techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mentalization-based therapy (MBT). Depending on individual needs, therapy may be short-term (6–12 sessions) or longer term. For clients receiving therapy, medication management is included.
