New Patients Information
In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety.” — Abraham Maslow
What To Expect
.01
Intake Forms
New patients need to fill out the contact form on this website. From this contact form, you will be sent electronic New Patient Forms to fill out. This paperwork will include Office Policy Consent Forms and the New Patient Questionnaire. This packet is comprehensive and will review your past and present medical and psychiatric history, as well as information on your lifestyle patterns, such as diet, sleep, etc. This comprehensive questionnaire allows Dr. Shadid to acquire more personal history information before the appointment, which allows more time for discussion of treatment planning in session.
.02
Complimentary Phone Consultation
After the New Patient Forms have been received, new patients can request a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. You may feel free to ask any questions about Dr. Shadid’s approach to treatment, her practice, and/or her training and experience, to help determine if she is the best fit for your care. The New Patient Appointment can be scheduled during this call if they are ready to schedule, or available dates can be emailed to them.
.03
Comprehensive Assessment
This 90-minute New Patient Appointment will be conducted in-person at the Denver office or via the HIPAA-compliant telehealth program. Dr. Shadid strives to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can share your personal story. Along the way, Dr. Shadid will ask questions to better understand your medical and psychiatric history, your lifestyle habits and your current stressors. By the end of the session, there will be a discussion of initial treatment planning, which can include medication and/or supplement approaches, laboratory recommendations, nutritional guidance and lifestyle modification suggestions.
.04
Follow Up Sessions
Follow up appointments will range from 25-120 minutes depending on patient’s needs and services requested. Frequency of appointments will vary and range from every 2 -6 weeks early in treatment to every 2-3 months later in treatment. Dr. Shadid sees all patients at least quarterly (every 3 months) in order to continue psychiatric management for her patients. During these sessions, you and Dr. Shadid will review progress on your treatment plan, evaluate which interventions have been helpful, which have not been as successful, and collaboratively will adjust and optimize the treatment plan.
