Psychiatric Evaluation

At Uniq Mind Integrative Behavioral Health, we believe every individual has a story worth understanding. Our psychiatric evaluations are more than a clinical checklist—they are a safe, supportive space to be seen, heard, and understood.

A psychiatric evaluation is a structured, in-depth conversation with a licensed mental health professional. We take time to explore your emotional well-being, medical and psychological history, current symptoms, and how your life has been impacted. 

This evaluation isn’t about labels—it’s about clarity. It helps us develop an accurate understanding of your unique needs and determine the most effective plan for care, whether that includes therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Why a Psychiatric Evaluation Matters?

Mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not work for another. That’s why an accurate, thoughtful evaluation is essential—it lays the foundation for care that’s truly aligned with who you are. Many of our clients come to us after months or even years of silently struggling. A psychiatric evaluation can be the beginning of a transformative chapter—one rooted in self-awareness, self-compassion, and healing.

What happens during a psychiatric evaluation?

It’s a thoughtful conversation where you share your story, feelings, and challenges. Together, we explore what’s been weighing on you and begin uncovering a path forward.

Why should I consider one?

A psychiatric evaluation offers clarity and direction. It helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and opens the door to healing and meaningful change.

Melanie has an uncommon talent for turning psychiatry into a true collaboration — she’s sincerely interested in me as a person, not just my diagnosis. That interest comes through in the perceptive questions she poses and the small details she remembers; she’s compassionate, patient, and builds an environment where I can be candid, imperfect, and even toss out a terrible joke.

She pays close attention, never hurries me, and makes the effort to see the whole story before recommending realistic, personalized approaches that actually work. When I had lost faith in myself, Melanie’s unwavering belief kept going, and that steady support made it possible to try again and notice real change.

My mood, everyday functioning, and outlook have all improved in measurable ways, and my life is significantly better because she’s part of it.

I cannot recommend Dr. Orben enough! She is not only caring and compassionate, but shows an amazing amount of empathy. I have been seeing her for a little over a year I believe and have seen drastic improvements in my life.

Also, the receptionists are extremely understanding and helpful. They are always happy and willing to go the extra mile to assist with any issues or questions about prescriptions and any issues I ran into were resolved same day.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Melanie Orben. She really took the time to get to know and understand me as a person. With Melanie you’re not just a number, you actually matter. I also can’t say enough about the front office staff. They answer every time and call you back when they say they will. It’s not often you find a medical office so well run such as this one. I really appreciate that.

For the first time in my life, I finally feel normal, like the best version of myself, and able to truly enjoy the flow of life, thanks to Melanie Orban. She helped identify the right medication for me, which genetic testing later confirmed, and the difference has been absolutely incredible.
Melanie is warm, relatable, and easy to talk to. She takes the time to dig deeper to find the best treatment plan tailored to you. She came highly recommended by my therapist, and now I completely understand why—5 stars!
