A "Game Plan" is crafted after discussion of treatment goals. This includes conventional and complementary therapies such as medications, diet modification, supplements if needed, sleep hygiene, mind-body strategies such as breathwork and guided-imagery, and exercise/therapy suggestions.

Please block 2 hours of your time for the initial visit, and 30 minutes for the follow up visit to discuss your results. For future follow-up visits, (typically every 3-6 months) please block 1 hour of time.
