What should a new client know about working with you?
In my practice, I engage my patient with a warm and welcoming interpersonal approach. It conjures a comfortable and reassuring environment that puts the patient at ease allowing for a smooth and open-ended discussion. Dr. Oriaifo utilizes the totality of her professional experiences in other healthcare areas such as a nursing, family care provider and now mental health care provider to integrate medical, pharmacological and psychotherapy to achieve the best outcome for that patient.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After welcoming patients in my office or via-space, I introduce myself and proceed to ask how I can be of service to them. I consider all pertinent differential diagnosis based on the presentation of current issues. Then, I let the patient know what my approach would be to arrive at final dialysis. Based on which an individualized treatment plan would be formulated, possibly to include talk therapy.
