Whether you choose telehealth or make the trip to our Laurel office, here's what you can expect from your psychiatric care — designed to fit your life, wherever you are in Ellicott City.
Your first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation — typically 60 to 90 minutes — where Dr. Fosu takes time to understand your symptoms, history, and what you're hoping to achieve. She listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions, and makes sure you feel heard. Whether you're joining from Ellicott City via telehealth or visiting our Laurel office, you'll receive the same depth of care. This isn't a quick checklist — it's a real conversation about your mental health and treatment goals. She also screens for co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression that often overlap with other concerns.
Once we understand your symptoms, Dr. Fosu provides a clear, evidence-based diagnosis — explained in plain language. No vague labels, just the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. You'll leave knowing exactly what the diagnosis means and what comes next. For Ellicott City residents, this clarity is especially important — you want to feel confident that the drive or the telehealth visit was worth it, and we make sure it is.
Your treatment is built around you — not a template. Depending on your needs, it may include medication management, therapy, or both. Dr. Fosu prescribes and monitors medications carefully, starting with low doses and adjusting based on your response. She also provides therapy and practical coping tools to support your recovery. The goal is to find what works best for you — and to make it feel manageable, even from Ellicott City.
Recovery isn't a straight line. We schedule regular follow-ups — in-person at our Laurel office or via telehealth — to track your progress, adjust treatment as needed, and provide ongoing support.
