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.

Francesca Cordi2025-08-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Lifesaver and a Light: Dr. Orben Is Simply Exceptional I’ve had the privilege of being under Dr. Melanie Orben’s care for several years, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most compassionate, insightful, and genuinely kind professionals I’ve ever encountered. From our very first session, she created a space that felt safe, warm, and judgment-free—a rare gift in today’s world. Her ability to listen deeply, respond thoughtfully, and guide with both empathy and expertise has helped me navigate some of the most complex chapters of my life. She doesn’t just treat symptoms—she sees the whole person. Her presence is calming, her advice is always grounded and wise, and her support has been unwavering. What sets her apart is not just her clinical skill, but her humanity. She’s friendly, approachable, and truly cares. I’ve always felt respected, heard, and understood in her care, and that has made all the difference. If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who blends professionalism with heart, Dr. Orben is the one. I’m endlessly grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone seeking not just healing, but genuine connection.

I am very blessed to have been able to establish here and get quality care! :) Molly2025-08-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! Anthony Urwin2025-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Orben and her staff are the most caring and competent medical providers I had the pleasure to work with. She really looks after the well being of her patients throughout her entire care and treatment plan. I trust her enough that my entire family are patients. I can’t recommend her enough. It would be a mistake if you didn’t give her a try. kirksquare2025-06-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff at Uniq Mind & Wellness is beyond fantastic!

I have been so depressed for so long. I went to Unique Mind and Wellness in Naples, Fl where I met Melanie Orben. She helped me so much that I now can say I am actually happy once again. It has been like a miracle. I had forgotten what that felt like. Like I said how can I ever thank her.
