Who We Help
Young Adults and College Students
Between 18 and 29, life can change fast: college, first jobs, new cities, new relationships, and new responsibilities. Psychiatric care during these years can help you understand what you are feeling and plan for what comes next.
Request a ConsultA Season of Firsts
Starting college or a first full-time job, moving out, managing money, and building a life on your own terms are exciting and demanding at the same time. Routines that once held things together may disappear, and pressures that were manageable at home can feel much heavier.
For many people, this is also the first time they seek a psychiatric evaluation on their own. You may have wondered for years whether what you feel is normal. You may be arranging care without a parent for the first time. Both are good reasons to start with a free consultation and ask questions.
ADHD Questions That Surface Now
Some people first notice attention difficulties when the structure of high school falls away. Keeping up with assignments without reminders, managing time, and staying organized in a new environment can reveal challenges that were easier to compensate for before.
If that sounds familiar, the ADHD support page explains how care works. An evaluation looks at your history, current difficulties, sleep, stress, and other possible explanations, because focus problems can have more than one cause.
Anxiety and Low Mood
Transitions often stir up anxiety and low mood. You might worry constantly about grades, work, or relationships, feel isolated in a new place, or lose motivation for things you once cared about. Sleep often suffers along the way.
A psychiatric evaluation can help sort out what is expected stress and what might benefit from care. Medication is one possible tool, never a requirement, and every decision is made together. When therapy would help, Claudia provides referrals to trusted therapists and specialists.
When You Feel Stuck
Some young adults find the step into independence especially hard, with school, work, or daily responsibilities stalling out. If that resonates, the failure to launch support page describes how care looks at contributing factors and builds realistic goals.
Your Care, Your Privacy
Once you are 18, you are the patient and you lead your own care. Your health information is private. Parents are not automatically part of appointments or updates. If you want a parent or partner involved, that can happen with your permission, and you decide what is shared.
Staying Consistent Between Home and School
Young adult life often involves moving between places: a campus apartment during the semester, a family home during breaks, a summer job somewhere else. Those transitions can make it easy for appointments to slip, especially when routines change all at once.
Planning ahead helps keep care steady. When you know your schedule for the next term or break, share it with the office so follow-up visits can be arranged around it. Telehealth can continue from wherever you are staying, as long as you are physically in Michigan at the time of each visit. If you are moving within the state, update your contact information and let the office know your new location. Keeping appointments consistent through these changes makes it easier to notice what is helping and to adjust your plan before small problems become larger ones.
Telehealth and Time Away From Michigan
Secure telehealth lets you meet from a dorm room or apartment, as long as you have a private space and are physically in Michigan at the time of the visit. Daytime appointments are available, with Tuesday and Wednesday sessions until 6 pm.
Because every telehealth visit requires you to be in Michigan, plan ahead for time away, such as studying out of state, summer jobs, or long trips. Talk with the office before you go so follow-up visits can be scheduled around your time in Michigan. Please talk with your prescriber before changing or stopping any medication while you are away.
See fees, insurance, and FAQs and verify coverage with the office. You can request a free 15-minute consultation through the contact page.
Common Questions
Can I have a telehealth visit from my dorm room?
Yes, as long as you have a private space and are physically in Michigan at the time of the visit. Secure telehealth is available for patients located anywhere in the state.
Will my parents be told about my appointments?
Not automatically. Once you are 18, your health information is private. If you want a parent involved, that can happen with your permission, and you decide what is shared.
What if I will be out of state for a semester?
Telehealth visits require you to be physically in Michigan. Talk with the office before you leave so follow-up visits can be planned around the time you are in Michigan.
