At STRIDE Integrative Psychiatry, LLC, we recognize that your child’s history, neurodevelopment, and unique vital traits cannot be distilled into a single, brief appointment. True clinical accuracy requires time, unhurried space, and an exhaustive analysis of the full picture.
To deliver this level of uncompromising care, we utilize a specialized, two-part clinical onboarding framework to establish a definitive baseline for all new patients entering our practice.
Clinical Onboarding & New Patient Intake
A Deliberate, Whole-Picture Evaluation
Most families are accustomed to a single intake session that ends abruptly with a prescription. The STRIDE entry gateway is intentionally different. Over a deliberate 30-day onboarding window, your family will move through two comprehensive, hyper-focused evaluation pathways to build an unshakeable foundation for mental and physical vitality.
PART 1: The Advanced Clinical Evaluation
The onboarding journey begins with a 90-minute comprehensive psychiatric intake which will include:
-
An exhaustive exploration of your child's psychiatric history, developmental milestones, and emotional presentation.
-
Integration of validated screening tools to evaluate complex symptom clusters, including advanced child and adolescent mood, anxiety, and trauma inventories.
-
We take the time to truly understand exactly what your child is experiencing. We look at every piece of the puzzle, making sure your family is deeply heard without ever feeling rushed.
PART 2: The Physical Activity & Lifestyle Assesment
Within 30 days of your initial psychiatric evaluation, we meet again for a dedicated 60-minute session. This time, we focus entirely on the physical foundation that directly impacts how your child's brain feels and functions every day.
-
A deep-dive into sleep hygiene, circadian rhythm health, and metabolic daily routines.
-
An objective evaluation of current physical activity habits, screen and digital consumption patterns, and nutritional foundations.
-
We wrap up this session by creating a personalized daily movement and lifestyle plan for your child. This isn't a generic routine—it is a customized roadmap built to work hand-in-hand with their specific mental health goals.
