Nara Health
First consultation

Your first consultation.

We set aside generous time for your first visit, so you can tell your story in full, in English or Bahasa Indonesia. You leave knowing what we recommend and what it will cost.

What happens

  • Your clinician asks what has brought you in, how long it has been going on, and what has helped so far.
  • They also ask about the rest of your life: sleep, work, relationships, physical health, medication and family history.
  • Your clinician explains what they think is going on, including a diagnosis if there is one.
  • Together you customize your course of treatment.

What you leave with

A written plan with your clinician's recommendation, the number of sessions and the total cost. Take it home and decide in your own time.

If medication is part of your plan, your psychiatrist prescribes it and reviews it with you in person.

Psychiatrist or clinical psychologist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (Sp.KJ) who can diagnose and prescribe. A clinical psychologist (M.Psi, Psikolog Klinis) assesses and treats through therapy, such as CBT, EMDR, schema therapy or ACT.

Tell us a little about what brings you in when you register, and we will suggest who to see first. If you later need the other, we arrange it.

Language and privacy

Sessions are in English or Bahasa Indonesia, whichever you prefer, and you see the same clinician each time.

What you discuss stays between you and your clinician. If your employer pays, they receive a receipt and nothing more.

Fee

Rp 1,500,000 for our founding group of clients (regular fee Rp 2,000,000), including your assessment and written plan. Further sessions are priced in your plan.

Questions

About ninety minutes, so nothing important is rushed.

Do I need a referral?

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes, for part of the session or all of it. A partner or family member can often add useful detail.
