Your First Step
Beginning psychiatric care can feel uncertain. The initial consultation is designed to be a welcoming, unhurried conversation where you can share what brings you in and explore whether working together feels right.
What to Expect
The process of getting started is straightforward. Here is how it works, step by step.
Reach Out
Submit a consultation request through the website or call the office directly at (404) 919-0530. You will receive a response within one business day.
Submit a Request →Brief Phone Call
A short introductory call to discuss your primary concerns, answer initial questions, and confirm that the practice is a good fit for your needs.
Your First Appointment
A comprehensive 75-minute evaluation where Dr. Kaiser will explore your history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. Together, you will begin outlining a path forward.
How to Prepare
There is no need to have everything figured out before your first appointment. A few things that may be helpful to think about beforehand:
- A brief sense of what brings you in and what you are hoping to address
- A list of current medications, if any
- Relevant medical or psychiatric history
- Questions you would like to ask about the process or Dr. Kaiser's approach
