What Happens During a Depression Treatment Consultation?
You don't need to know which treatment you need before calling us. That's what the consultation is designed to help you understand.
Want to know if SAINT® is right for you?
Tell us about your treatment history and symptoms. A consultation is an evaluation, not a commitment — and it starts with your story.
The consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. Its purpose is to understand your situation and discuss which options may be worth considering.
What We Discuss
During a consultation, we may review your current symptoms, diagnosis, treatment history, medication history, therapy history, any previous TMS, current psychiatric providers, treatment goals, and questions about treatment options, scheduling, insurance, and self-pay. The goal is to understand the full picture before discussing recommendations.
What Happens During the Conversation
We listen to your story
Your symptoms, what you've tried, what helped, what didn't, and what you're hoping for.
We explain the options
We describe treatments that may be relevant to your situation in plain language.
We discuss logistics
Scheduling, insurance, self-pay questions, and what the next steps would look like.
You decide what's next
There's no pressure to commit to anything during this conversation.
Curious whether you'd qualify?
If you've tried medication and you're still not yourself, you may be a candidate for SAINT®. Our team will give you a straight answer.
I'm Calling for Myself
If you're calling for yourself, you're in the right place. You don't need to have everything figured out. We'll guide the conversation and help you understand what may be appropriate.
I'm Calling for Someone I Love
If you're calling on behalf of a family member, you can learn general information about our services and the consultation process. The patient must consent to and participate in treatment, but gathering information is something you can do now.
What You Need for the First Call
You don't need a complete medical history for the first inquiry. A rough sense of what you've tried and what's been happening is enough. Detailed records, insurance information, and clinical documentation may be collected later in the process — not during the first conversation.
