Through psychoeducation, you can learn about your diagnosis and symptoms and learn what treatment options are available. You’ll learn the definitions of mental health terms and develop an understanding of how your mental health has impacted your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Your provider will clear away myths around your mental health diagnosis, answering your questions and guiding you to a better understanding of your lived experience.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
A psychiatric evaluation is more than a conversation about symptoms. It’s an opportunity to step back, look at the full picture, and better understand what may be affecting how you feel, think, and function day to day.
Your provider will take time to learn about your concerns, history, experiences, and goals so your care is based on you—not just a diagnosis. From there, you’ll work together to identify the most appropriate next steps and create a treatment plan that feels clear, thoughtful, and personalized.

Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a structured therapy that provides you with information about your mental health diagnosis and/or symptoms. It also provides individualized education on treatment methods so you can understand all your options. You’ll get information that gives you a context for your symptoms and experiences, helping you to understand yourself. Your psychoeducation provider will also answer questions and dispel myths about your diagnosis and treatment options.
Psychoeducation incorporates methods from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and education, incorporating coping strategies drawn from mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, boundary enforcement, and interpersonal communication skills. This combination creates a supportive structure that provides information and options personalized to you and your current experiences.
As you begin psychoeducation with a Patterns Psychiatry provider, you’ll answer questions about your symptoms and experiences and begin receiving information that helps you understand your diagnosis.
You’ll learn about:
– Common symptoms for your diagnosis
– Information on why you are experiencing the symptoms you have
– How to cope with your diagnosis and symptoms
– What treatment options are available
– How to find treatment
– What to watch for in terms of symptom escalation or relapse
– Long-term options
– How to help your family and friends understand your experiences
