Beginning Care is Simple
At Peregrine Integrative Psychiatry, we’ve designed every step of the process to be efficient, convenient, and respectful of your time. From scheduling your first appointment to ongoing follow-up care, our goal is to make accessing high-quality psychiatric treatment as seamless as possible.
Step 1: Schedule a Complimentary Consultation
Begin by scheduling a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. This conversation provides an opportunity to briefly discuss your concerns, answer questions about the practice, and determine whether Peregrine Integrative Psychiatry is the right fit for your needs. If we decide to move forward together, your initial evaluation will be scheduled at a convenient time.
