Psychotherapeutic Treatment
Psychotherapy at Verigrate Health is conducted within a physician-led model of psychiatric care. Treatment is grounded in careful diagnostic formulation, longitudinal observation, and integration with psychiatric evaluation when appropriate — this is not a general therapy practice.
Care is provided personally by Christian S. Monsalve, M.D. When patients work with an outside psychotherapist, treatment planning is coordinated collaboratively, with patient authorization, and with clearly defined roles that preserve the primary therapeutic alliance.
The Role of Psychotherapy
How Psychotherapy Fits Within the Practice
Continuity of Care
One physician — evaluation, psychotherapy, and, when indicated, medical treatment.
This structure supports continuity of clinical understanding, minimizes fragmentation of care, and allows the relationship between psychotherapy, symptoms, functioning, and health to be considered as a whole. Not every patient receives psychotherapy; its role is determined during evaluation.

Where Psychotherapy Connects to Clinical Care
Psychotherapeutic work often intersects with medication questions, diagnostic clarification, and functional goals. Each related area has its own clinical guide.
A Clinical Limitation
Verigrate Health is not an emergency psychiatric service and does not provide urgent, same-day, or walk-in crisis care. Consultations are available only in jurisdictions where the physician is appropriately licensed.
