Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be seen for primary care and psychiatric care in the same visit?

Typically, primary care and psychiatric care are scheduled as separate visit types so each gets adequate time, but both are provided by Maurine Forche, MSN, APRN, and documented in one chart. Ask our office if your specific concerns can be combined into a single appointment.

Do you treat both adults and adolescents in Northern California?

Providence Holistic Healing focuses on adult primary care and adult psychiatric care in Northern California. Please contact our office to confirm whether a specific age or condition falls within our current scope of practice before scheduling an appointment, since we do not currently see young children.

How often will I need follow-up appointments?

Follow-up frequency depends on your condition and treatment plan. Chronic disease management and psychiatric medication management often start with more frequent visits, then shift to routine check-ins every few months as your treatment stabilizes, in person or by telehealth, whichever is more convenient for you.

What is included in an annual physical?

An annual physical typically includes a review of your health history, vital signs, relevant screenings, and a discussion of any new or ongoing concerns. Maurine Forche uses this visit to update your preventive care plan and check in on chronic conditions.
