What Happens After Your Psychiatry Screening Survey 🌿

You’ve just taken a brave step by completing our screening survey. Thank you for sharing your information with us. We know it can feel vulnerable to reach out for care, and we want to reassure you: your responses are safe, valued, and already being reviewed by our team.

Step 1: Andi Reviews Your Screening Survey

Our practice manager, Andi, carefully reviews every survey. This step ensures we’re the right fit for your needs and helps us connect you with the right provider.

Step 2: Scheduling Within 2 Business Days

You can expect to hear from Andi within two business days. She’ll reach out by email or phone to ensure that you're a good fit and then to guide you through scheduling your first appointment. She will answer any logistical questions about getting started.

Step 3: Preparing for Your First Visit

Once you’re scheduled, you’ll receive a secure patient portal invitation. Inside, you can complete intake forms and provide background information. This helps your clinician understand your goals before your visit so you can spend more time on what matters most — your care.

• Box breathing: Inhale for 4, hold 4, exhale for 4, hold 4 (repeat for 2–3 minutes).

• Grounding (5–4–3–2–1): Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste.

• Gentle movement: Take a short walk or stretch.

• Sensory reset: Try a warm shower, brew chamomile tea, or step outside for fresh air.
