They create a validating, judgment-free space while attending closely to the impact of intersectional identity on symptoms. Dr. Cyrus’s prescribing philosophy emphasizes that medications can help but aren’t a complete solution, respecting each patient’s body and choice.

In the first session, Dr. Cyrus addresses questions and ensures the therapeutic fit is right. The initial intake gathers a thorough understanding of a patient’s history, identity, and goals. From there, Dr. Cyrus develops a personalized treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, or both, tailored to each patient’s background, struggles, and aspirations.
