Services

• Brief consultation

  • If there is uncertainty about whether you/your child would be a good fit, I am open to a 5-15 minute phone call, free-of-charge. Please send an email to brian@brianbellomd.com with your name, phone number, and a couple windows of time where you are available for me to call you.

• Initial Evaluation

  • 90 minutes for adults

  • 90-120 minutes for children/adolescents, depending on complexity of case.

• Medication management

  • Follow-up visits are typically 30 minutes. If someone has been stable for 6+ months and requests shorter appointments to save on cost, I can do 15 minutes.

  • The focus is on assessing current symptom improvement, managing potential side effects, and discussing ongoing plan (including general medical, social situation, lab work, supplements, lifestyle, etc.).

• Therapy

  • Typically 60 minutes, ideally at least once a week.

  • I’m trained in Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic therapy, but can incorporate skills from certain specialty therapies like ISTDP and PCIT/PC-CARE. Unless a client requests a specific modality, I generally take more of a supportive, coaching approach.
