Initial Consultation and Follow-Up Appointments
The initial consultation will be a thorough psychiatric assessment to understand your current concerns, history, and treatment goals. Together, you and I will discuss possible treatment options and recommendations. The initial consultation visit are to determine if my treatment approach/style and your treatment needs are a good fit.
Follow-up appointments can vary from 25 - 50 minutes. Together, you and I will determine what length and intervals will best suit your needs and goals. Medication management appointments are typically anywhere from every 1-3 months depending on symptom severity and/or symptom control. Psychotherapy appointments are typically best done at weekly intervals, though biweekly and/or other treatment schedules may be an option depending on your situation. Follow-up appointments can also entail a combination of psychotherapy and medication management if I am doing both types of treatments with you. All patients are seen at least every 3 months.
Service Fees
I do not accept any insurance plans, including Medicare, which can place restrictions on time spent providing treatment and the type of treatment provided. I am classified as an “Out of Network” provider under your insurance plan. However, I can provide you with appropriate documentation if you would like to file for out-of-network benefits through your insurance. If you have questions about out-of-network reimbursement, please contact your insurance provider. You may be able to use your insurance plan for medications and lab work if it provides coverage for them.

Good Faith Estimate
No Surprises Act Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
