Initial Psychiatric Evaluation

Your first session is a 60-minute, comprehensive evaluation with one of our medical providers. Together, you’ll review symptoms, life circumstances, and past medical history, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

When indicated, additional lab testing may be recommended through our trusted partners to provide a full picture of your health and support optimal outcomes.

Complimentary 10-minute Consultation

After requesting an appointment — by phone or through our website — a medical provider will schedule a brief call to learn more about your needs, provide an overview of our services, and answer any questions. This also helps determine whether our practice is the right fit for you.

Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive an intake packet to complete online prior to your visit, allowing us to focus on care from the moment you arrive.

Psychiatric Follow-Up

Follow-up visits are scheduled collaboratively, based on your individual needs and evolving treatment plan. When therapy is incorporated into care, extended sessions may be arranged to allow space for both therapeutic work and medication management.

Our approach integrates evidence-based therapy with psychiatric treatment to support sustained progress and overall well-being.

Psychological testing provides structured, evidence-based evaluation to clarify certain mental health diagnoses. Our clinicians utilize accredited third-party assessment tools to gather objective data supporting the evaluation of ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, mood disorders, and other concerns. Following completion of testing, a comprehensive written report is provided and may be used to support academic or workplace accommodations, when appropriate.

Specialities

Anxiety Disorders

An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition typically characterized by excessive worry, fear, and unease. These symptoms usually negatively affect daily functioning and are different from an anxious response to a stressful situation. There are different types of anxiety disorders, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, Panic Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.



Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can significantly impact work and school performance, and interfere with interpersonal relationships. Symptoms are usually present from childhood and can include difficulty with focus and concentration, impulsivity, learning/processing difficulties, disorganization, and hyperactivity. Our practice employs testing, medication, exercises, and other tools to reduce the harmful effects of ADHD on our clients’ productivity and lives.


Genetic Testing

Genetic testing is precision medicine. This cutting-edge technology allows us to assess how your body responds to different psychiatric medications based on your genes. Our practice is a strategic partner of Genomind, and our providers are trained to analyze test results and explain them to you in plain speech. Genetic tests require a cheek swab and home tests can be sent directly to you.




Insomnia

Getting adequate and restful sleep is vital for physical and mental health. Insomnia can make it difficult to fall and stay asleep, and can be a symptom of anxiety or depression. Lack of sleep can negatively impact performance and productivity, as well as worsen underlying mental health conditions.





Medication Management and De-Prescribing

Medication can be a necessary tool when treating multiple mental health conditions; however, our providers prescribe medication only when needed and in conjunction with other lifestyle changes, such as exercise and dietary planning. We strive to simplify and optimize our patients’ medication regimens. Our providers have formal training in complicated psychotropic medication management and offer rare professional expertise in de-prescribing.





Mood Disorders

A mood disorder is a mental health condition that impacts a person’s emotional state. There are different types of mood disorders, such as Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder (types I and II), Postpartum Depression, and Persistent Depressive Disorder.





Nutritional Psychiatry

Food we eat can impact how we feel psychologically and emotionally. At District Psychiatry and Wellness, we employ an integrative approach to psychiatry and use nutrition as a key tool in improving mental and physical health. Our providers have completed extensive study on nutritional psychiatry, and enjoy helping patients improve their dietary habits.






Performance Optimization

District Psychiatry and Wellness providers specialize in sports psychiatry and helping athletes or other high achieving individuals move past obstacles to optimally function. Our experience working with professional athletes and business leaders make us a strong fit for these groups and other healthcare providers seeking psychological performance optimization.







PTSD and TBI

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can develop when someone is exposed to a life-threatening event. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury (blow or jolt to head or body) that can cause damage to the brain. PTSD and TBI often have overlapping symptoms; as a former Army psychiatrist, Dr. Kappes has extensive experience caring for patients with both PTSD and/or TBI.








Womens’ Mental Health

Women have unique mental health needs, and many do not focus on their own mental health as a result of balancing multiple roles simultaneously. Our practice employs an all-female clinical staff and specializes in women’s health. Anxiety disorders in women, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), perinatal psychiatry, and postpartum depression are areas in which our providers carry both professionally accredited certifications and extensive experience.
