Your Concierge At Regional Psychiatry

Our Evaluation and Referral (E&R) Division is a dedicated service designed to guide individuals toward the most effective path to healing. This division serves as a crucial first point of contact, whether you are seeking help on your own and are unsure where to begin, or are being referred from another healthcare facility. 

During a confidential appointment, one of our E&R specialists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, discuss your unique situation, and explain the various healing modalities we offer. Our goal is to ensure you are seamlessly placed into the appropriate treatment setting to begin your recovery with confidence.

What Our Patients Say

Eduarda Freitas
I absolutely love this clinic! From the front desk ladies to the psychologists crew, everyone is amazing, kind, quick to respond, and eager to help. I would recommend with zero complaints!
Dan Richner
I cannot say enough good things about this clinic. Even though most of the treatment is done remotely, the warmth and care of the providers come through just as strongly as if you were meeting in person. From the very first virtual session, I felt seen, heard, and genuinely supported. The providers are incredibly compassionate and go above and beyond to make sure every patient receives the help that’s right for them. The front office staff is also extremely accessible and helpful—they're always quick to respond, answer questions, and make scheduling a breeze. If you’re looking for thoughtful, professional care that fits into your life—this is the place. Highly recommend!

I have been under the care of Dr. Perez since 2023. She has truly saved my life and continues to support me in reclaiming my mental health with exceptional professionalism and genuine empathy. Additionally, the front office staff is very helpful and competent, assisting me whenever I need to reach out to the doctor. Thank you so much for your incredible services.
Lisa Sanderson
I've been coming here for four years, and the team is top-notch. They are all very responsive, professional, and kind. I've been seeing Christina Davis, and she is exceptional. She genuinely cares about what's going on in your life and making sure you have the resources you need as you navigate the ups and downs of life. Highly recommend.
Vanessa Stone
Dr. Cathleen Gomez has been my psychiatrist for 5 years, since shortly after I received my diagnosis (bipolar 1 with psychotic features) after living for 13 years undiagnosed and untreated. She has shown me incredible compassion, been an amazing listener, and provided me with the best medication management I've ever had. She helped me work out nutrition and therapy needs to improve my quality of life immensely on top of the already life-changing and balanced medication she's prescribed. I could not recommend her more highly!
