Each patient is given a thorough psychiatric evaluation and recommendations are made regarding further evaluations, medications and therapy. The initial evaluation consists of an 80 minute appointment. Dr. Murphy works closely with her patients’ other providers, including obstetricians, internists and other specialists, so that care is coordinated and comprehensive.

If medication is found to be appropriate for a patient, medication management is provided either in conjunction with therapy or on its own. Medication management appointments without therapy are 20-30 minutes.

Dr. Murphy provides individual therapy in sessions, with or without medication management, that last 45 – 50 minutes.
