Patient welcome letters

These letters are shared after consultation and once an evaluation appointment has been mutually agreed upon.

Ages 10–11

Welcome to your care journey

You are about to start a new part of your care with Dr. Edwards. This is a place to talk about what is going well, what feels hard, and what you want help with.

You will get to try activities that make coping skills easier to remember—short stories, drawing, music, favorite characters, movement, and simple real-life challenges. We may give a skill a memorable name so it is easier to use when you need it.

Sometimes a film moment, song, or short reading can help an idea stick. Your Behavioral Health Rx materials are chosen just for your care plan. You can explore each available piece when you are ready.

If medicine is part of the conversation, you will get clear handouts written for your level. They explain what a medicine is for, what you might notice, and what questions you can ask.

You are in control of your pace. We will agree on what each visit is for before it happens. That could be a shorter medication check-in, a skills session, or a mix that fits what you need right then.

Welcome to your care journey

Your evaluation is the start of a plan built with you, not just for you. You can talk honestly about what is happening, what you want to change, and what support would actually help.

We will use practical activities, real-life examples, music, film moments, and short reading connections to make coping skills feel useful outside the appointment. The goal is to find ideas that make sense to you and are easy to remember.

Your Behavioral Health Rx materials are clinician-selected for your care plan. You can choose when to work through each available lesson, resource, or activity, and we can adjust the pace as we go.

If medication comes up, you will receive straightforward handouts at your level. You will know what the medication is meant to help with, what to notice, and what questions to bring back.

Before each appointment, we will agree on the format and time that fit the current goal: a shorter medication-management visit, a focused skills session, or a combination of both.

Welcome to your care journey

This evaluation begins a care plan that makes room for your perspective. You can be direct about what is working, what is not, and what direction you want to take.

Sessions can include practical skills work, real-life scenarios, music, film, and reading connections that help a concept stay with you. We use memorable names for coping tools so they are easier to recognize and use when life gets intense.

Your Behavioral Health Rx materials are selected for your individual plan. You decide when to engage with the lessons and resources that have been released to you, at a pace that works for your life.

If medication is part of your care, you will receive clear, informative handouts written at your level. They cover the purpose, possible benefits, things to notice, and questions worth asking.

We will agree on the purpose, format, and amount of time for each appointment in advance. You may want a shorter medication-management check-in, a solid skills session, or a mix that fits the need in the moment.

Welcome to your care journey

Your evaluation is the beginning of a care plan that can adapt to the life you are actually living. We will focus on what matters to you, what you want to understand, and what kind of support feels useful now.

You may work with clinician-selected film, music, reading, and practical exercises that connect a coping skill to something memorable. The point is not to assign busywork; it is to help you find a reference point that resonates and stays with you.

Your Behavioral Health Rx materials are private and selected for your individual care plan. You choose when to work through each released lesson or resource, and we can change the pace or direction as your needs shift.

When medication is part of the plan, you will receive clear, informative handouts that explain the purpose, expected effects, possible concerns, and questions to consider.

Every visit is agreed upon in advance. You can choose shorter medication-management appointments, focused skills sessions, or a flexible mix of both based on what is most useful in the moment.

Welcome to your care journey

Your evaluation begins a collaborative care plan built around your goals, your context, and the kind of support that is most useful to you. You can be clear about what you want to address and how you prefer to work.

Clinician-selected film, music, reading, and practical exercises can reinforce a skill in a way that is memorable and personal. These Behavioral Health Rx materials are not generic assignments; they are selected to support your individual plan.

You decide when to engage with the lessons and resources released to your private care library. We can adjust the pace, the focus, and the mix of materials as your needs evolve.

If medication is part of your care, you will receive accessible, informative handouts that explain the purpose, potential benefits, possible concerns, and questions to discuss.

Appointments are planned together in advance. You may prefer concise medication-management visits, dedicated skills sessions, or a flexible combination that fits the need in the moment and the amount of time you prefer.
