Question 1

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I accept select insurance plans and also offer self-pay options for patients who are uninsured.
All patients receive thoughtful, high-quality care regardless of payment type. Our insurance-based appointments are designed to provide appropriate evaluation, treatment, and follow-up within the structure of your health plan.
For patients seeking additional flexibility, we also offer cash-based services. These visits may allow for longer appointment times, more personalized support, and expanded wellness-focused care that may not always be covered by insurance.

Question 2

What is integrative psychiatry?

Accepted Answer

Integrative psychiatry blends traditional mental health care (like therapy and medication) with holistic approaches such as nutritional guidance, lifestyle changes, and supplement support. My goal is to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms—to promote lasting mental wellness.
We’ll work together to find the right balance of treatments to help you feel your best.

Question 3

What happens during the initial appointment?

Accepted Answer

The 75-minute intake is a comprehensive evaluation where I take time to fully understand your history, symptoms, and goals. We’ll explore treatment options together, and you’ll leave with a clear, customized plan that may include therapy, labs, nutritional changes, or medication if appropriate.

Question 4

How do I schedule and appointment?

Accepted Answer

To schedule an appointment, please contact our office by phone or complete the appointment request form on our website. Our team will help you determine whether you will be using insurance or self-pay services and will guide you through the next steps.
Before your first visit, we may ask for basic information, insurance details if applicable, and any required intake forms so we can best prepare for your appointment.

Question 5

Can I still be seen without having to take medication?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Medication is never a requirement. We’ll explore all options—including therapy, lifestyle, and nutritional interventions—and make a collaborative plan that feels right for you.

Question 6

Do you prescribe controlled substances?

Accepted Answer

Patient safety and appropriate care are my top priorities. Therefore, I do not prescribe controlled substances during initial visits. The decision to prescribe such medications is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the clinical necessity and risks. They are only considered for patients who demonstrate ongoing engagement in their treatment plans. Please note that, in some instances, in-person visits may be required before initiating or continuing prescriptions for controlled substances, in compliance with federal and state regulations.
