Our approach
Mind Matters Psychiatry uses a compassionate, patient-centred approach grounded in extensive psychiatric training and trauma-informed care. Dr. Elizabeth Fyson is renowned for ensuring individuals feel supported and understood throughout their treatment journey, with a commitment to holistic care that empowers patients to make informed choices about their treatment options. Sessions are delivered via secure telehealth video calls, which have been shown to be as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health conditions. The comprehensive assessments include clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, and discussions about medical history and symptoms to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Your first visit
At the first appointment, a thorough evaluation is conducted to understand your mental health concerns and medical history. The session includes clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, and discussions about your symptoms to ensure an accurate diagnosis. You'll have the opportunity to discuss all relevant concerns with your psychiatrist, who will then create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs. The initial appointment lasts one hour and takes place via secure video call. Before your appointment, ensure you are in a private, quiet location with a stable internet connection, and have any necessary documents ready such as medication lists or previous treatment records.
