A psychiatric evaluation is the first step toward understanding your mental health and creating an effective treatment plan. Our comprehensive psychiatric assessments are completed by Connor Rezzonico, PMHNP-BC in person at our Coeur d’Alene office, or via telehealth when appropriate. The goal of initial evaluation is to provide a thorough, evidence-based evaluation designed to identify underlying concerns and guide personalized care.
