Initial intake appointments are described as 60-minute sessions covering a review of medical and psychiatric history, with potential lab work, genetic testing referrals, and psychological testing referrals arranged depending on clinical need identified during the intake.

This collaborative stance is described as central to the clinic’s overall model, with the goal of ensuring care is coordinated and not siloed. Both virtual telehealth and in-person session formats are available, giving clients flexibility in how they attend appointments.
