Psychiatric Services: Medication Management & Psychotherapy
Dr. Sharpe treats patients ages 18 and up. He specializes in treating psychiatric symptoms with medication management, with or without psychotherapy as needed.
What to expect
Your first visit with Dr. Sharpe is 60 minutes long and includes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and interview. If treatment is recommended, it will typically consist of psychotherapy (talk therapy), medications, or a combination of the two. Frequency and length of appointments are determined case by case depending on the individual’s needs. Follow-up appointments are 30 or 45 minutes, longer when psychotherapy is included.
Dr. Sharpe practices from a BioPsychoSocial model, treating the whole person rather than a list of symptoms. Biological factors (brain chemistry, medical conditions, genetics), psychological factors (thoughts, coping patterns, life history), and social factors (relationships, work, stressors) all inform the treatment plan together.
