She is okay. Typically appointments go quickly, which is ok by me since I have small children and I work FT. Very dry personality. Not very personal with patients like all my other NWM team. Overall, I am indifferent about her. She handles business and then moves on. Generally appointments are about 10-20 minutes.

I think I finally understand her approach. It’s taken a long time. She silos therapy as separate from her work and that surprised me. She has always been very direct. This is both a strength and weakness. She could practice disagreeing with other professional opinions a bit more diplomatically. She got there and I understand her point and found it helpful. It’s the beginning of the explanation that could be reshaped for laity.

We were assigned Dr Corcoran during the start of the pandemic when our regular psychiatrist felt the institution. The patient is special needs so caregiver is mom and her sister (me) have to communicate all of the patients needs. The pandemic was hard for the patient the lack of social interaction and an abrupt changed on her schedule was hard which added to her depression. Dr. Corcoran adjusted her medication which helped and we also learned we could increase during the dark winter, only. For the we are forever thankful. We appreciate all the education and information she provide us with to help the patient my sister.
