Duration of Treatment
Essentially, after your initial consultation, we will discuss treatment frequency and length of treatment. Follow up sessions could be as long or short as you prefer and more or less frequent based on what if benefitting your situation. For some, the goal would is to return back to your primary care provider (Family Physician, Internal Medicine Physician, Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant) at the end of treatment to maintain your gains and for others, ongoing treatment with a psychiatrist is preferred and or recommended.
Free Consultation for Primary Care Providers
Given our aim is that within a year of treatment with Dr. Burson you will return back to your primary care provider, we want to be as helpful in this process as possible. To maximize benefit to you, Dr. Burson will provide free consultation to your primary care provider for up to 6 months on any psychiatric questions your referring provider might have about your care once you transition back to them after adequate treatment with Dr. Burson if you choose to do that. We will also provide communication at the beginning of your treatment informing your primary care provider of the plan and opening up lines of dialogue.
