Your first visit

Before
Intake questionnaires arrive online; rating scales are on the Forms page. Bring a list of current medications, prior psychiatric records if available, and, for children, any school or psychological evaluations.
During
Initial evaluations last 60 to 90 minutes. For young people, part of the visit is with parents and part with the young person alone.
After
You leave with a written summary of impressions and recommendations. Follow-ups are 25 to 50 minutes.

Fees and insurance

This is a private-pay practice: we do not accept insurance, and fees are quoted when you call. Paying directly keeps visits long and free of insurers’ limits on what can be discussed and prescribed. A sliding scale is available for a portion of appointments, based on need; please ask. On request we provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement, which many PPO plans offer, and a good-faith estimate under the No Surprises Act.

If you need help now
