Evaluation Service

Anand Desai MD, Co-Chair

Emily Gastelum MD, Co-Chair



our mission

• To provide initial screening clinical evaluations of patients who request psychoanalytic treatment via online application

• To refer patients for whom psychoanalysis may be appropriate to a candidate for a comprehensive, in person clinical consultation and evaluation

• To make appropriate referrals for any patient for whom psychoanalysis is not an optimal treatment at the time of application

• Outreach to potential referral sources and patients about psychoanalysis, raising awareness amongst referral sources and potential patients who may benefit from this treatment but may be unfamiliar with psychoanalysis or the treatment resources at the Center

The Evaluation Service conducts a phone screening of all patients who express interest in analytic treatment through our online application and makes appropriate referrals either for psychoanalysis with one of our candidates or to other treatment settings as is clinically indicated. The service also maintains documentation about which patients begin psychoanalytic treatment with a candidate in addition to informed consent paperwork.

Recent Achievements
