Everything You Need to Get Started
We want your experience at Self Love Mental Health & Wellness to feel seamless and supported — from your very first call to your ongoing care.
New Patients
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial psychiatric evaluation is a safe, unhurried conversation — not a test. Here's how to prepare.
Schedule Your Appointment
Book online or call us at (951) 633-8466. We'll confirm your appointment, collect basic intake information, and send you a welcome email with everything you need to know before your visit.
Complete Your Intake Forms
Before your appointment, you'll receive secure digital intake forms to complete at your own pace. These cover your health history, current symptoms, medications, and goals for care. Completing them in advance helps us make the most of your time together.
Your Evaluation Appointment
Your first visit is a comprehensive 60–90 minute session. Raquel will review your history, listen to your concerns, and work collaboratively with you to understand your needs. There's no rush — this is your space to be heard.
Receive Your Personalized Care Plan
At the end of your evaluation, Raquel will discuss her clinical impressions and outline a personalized treatment plan — which may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. Follow-up appointments are scheduled based on your individual needs.
