FAQs

I provide psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric med management, and psychotherapy for  people over age 18 via video-conferencing. At our first appointment we will identify your  needs, considering your mood, your medical and psychiatric history, and your family  history. Together you and I will develop a treatment strategy that’s comfortable for you.

Your treatment plan may include: 

• Psychotherapy 
• Med management 
• Lab work 
• Genetic testing 
• Herbal/neutraceutical/supplemental support 
• Meditation 
• Breathing techniques 
• Teaching you to achieve and maintain the balance between body, mind, and spirit

I emphasize prevention and education as a means of minimizing your distress. 

When prescribing medications, I attempt to use the fewest amount of medications as  possible, at the lowest possible dose, for the shortest amount of time. I want you to make an  informed decision about taking medication. I will take the time to educate you about what  medications you might want to consider taking, why you might want to take them, and the  benefits and risks of taking them. I will also give you non-prescription options to consider.

You can participate in Telepsychiatry from the comfort and convenience of your own home  or office. You can have continued care while traveling or on vacation. You have increased  privacy, without needing to wait in an office reception room. You avoid traffic hassles and  unnecessary gas and parking expenses. 

Telepsychiatry is easy: All you need is a computer or smartphone and a good internet  connection. Appointments occur over a HIPAA compliant video platform designed to  protect your privacy.

An Initial Consultation is a comprehensive psychiatric and wellness evaluation. We will  discuss your reasons for seeking treatment, your medical and psychiatric history, and other  aspects of your life. We will then collaborate on treatment goals and recommendations.

Full sessions are also used to follow-up and monitor your response to treatment after your  initial evaluation. Most patients who opt for full sessions do so because they provide time  for in-depth psychotherapy. In addition to psychotherapy, full sessions can be used to  evaluate your response to medications, lifestyle interventions, or to discuss any other  concerns that may require additional time or support.

Focus sessions are used to follow-up and monitor your response to treatment after your  initial evaluation. They provide targeted follow-up such as medication management or brief  supportive psychotherapy.

I am considered an “out of network provider.” I use a fee-for-service concierge model. I am able to render the care that you and I think is necessary, not what your insurance dictates.  You will never be surprised by your bill and I will keep the cost to you as low as possible. I  will provide superbills on request, which you may be able to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. 

In return, you receive timely and exceptional care, direct access to me via phone, text, or email, and the ability to schedule same or next day appointments in many instances.

Yes, you can use your HSA card for these services.
