Request a ConsultYour First Psychiatric Evaluation
For many people, reaching out for a psychiatric evaluation is a first. You may have wondered for a long time whether what you feel is normal, or you may be arranging care on your own for the first time. Not knowing what to expect is common, and it is fine to arrive with more questions than answers.
A 60-minute psychiatric evaluation is a conversation, not a test. Claudia will ask about your current symptoms, when they started, your sleep, physical health, stress, past treatment, and goals. You can share at your own pace. At the end, you will talk through options together, and nothing is decided without you.
It can help to jot down a few notes beforehand about what has been hard, when it started, and anything you have already tried. The guide How to Prepare for Your First Psychiatric Appointment walks through the details.
ADHD Questions in College and Early Adulthood
Some people first notice attention difficulties when the structure of high school falls away. Managing a class schedule without reminders, keeping up with long-term assignments, balancing work and school, or staying organized in a new place can reveal challenges that were easier to work around before.
Focus problems can have more than one cause, including sleep, stress, anxiety, and low mood. An evaluation looks at your history and current difficulties to sort through possible explanations. The ADHD support page explains how care works, and Claudia's certification in Functional & Integrative Medicine for ADHD informs a whole-person approach.
It can help to think back to earlier school years and note whether similar difficulties showed up then, even if they were easier to manage. Report cards, old notes from teachers, or observations from family members can add useful context, but they are not required to begin.
Anxiety and Low Mood
The pressures of school, work, money, and relationships can stir up persistent worry or a heaviness that does not lift. You might lose motivation, withdraw from friends, sleep poorly, or find it hard to concentrate. The anxiety and depression pages describe how care approaches these concerns.
Medication is one possible tool, never a requirement, and every decision is made together based on your symptoms, goals, and comfort level. When therapy would help, Claudia provides referrals to trusted therapists and specialists.
Reaching out early, before things feel unmanageable, is always welcome.
Telehealth From Home or Campus Housing
Secure telehealth lets you meet from an apartment, a house, or a dorm room, as long as you have a private space and are physically in Michigan at the time of the visit. Headphones and a closed door help you speak freely, especially with roommates nearby.
If you will be leaving the state for a break or a summer job, let the office know ahead of time so follow-up visits can be planned around your time in Michigan. The young adults page has more on keeping care steady through transitions.
Your Privacy
Once you are 18, your health information is private. Parents are not automatically part of appointments or updates. If you want someone involved, that can happen with your permission, and you decide what is shared.
You can also ask questions about privacy before your first visit.
Getting Started
Tuesday and Wednesday sessions run until 6 pm, which can help visits fit around classes and work shifts. People who prefer in person can choose the Clinton office at 8759 Clinton Macon Rd. For cost and insurance, see fees, insurance, and FAQs and verify coverage with the office.
A free 15-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to ask questions before scheduling an evaluation, and you can request one through the contact page. The areas served page describes care across Michigan.
