What to Expect at Lyte Psychiatry
Your first appointment is a full psychiatric evaluation — not a quick intake. Your provider spends 50–60 minutes reviewing your history, current symptoms, medications, and goals. By the end of the visit, you leave with a diagnosis, a specific treatment plan, and if medication is appropriate, a prescription sent to your local pharmacy.
Follow-up visits are typically 20–30 minutes. They focus on how you're responding to treatment, any medication adjustments, and next steps. Most patients are seen monthly at the start of treatment, then less frequently once things are stable.
We work with a lot of patients who've had poor experiences with psychiatry before — rushed appointments, billing surprises, providers who never remember their history. At Lyte, we verify your insurance before your first visit, keep appointment slots open for urgent needs, and give you a direct way to reach your provider between sessions when something comes up.
