If you are not in network with these insurances, or choose to not use insurance, we can provide a superbill at the end of the visit to file with your insurance that may facilitate direct reimbursement for treatment. Many clients are able to receive out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance company. We encourage you to contact your insurance company to inquire about out-of-network benefits.

Your initial psychiatric evaluation and assessment are conducted by a licensed healthcare professional with the necessary training and expertise to assess mental health.

During the assessment, you will be asked questions about your medical and psychiatric history, as well as current mental health symptoms you may be experiencing. The provider will ask about any medications, therapies, or treatments you have tried. This information will help identify any underlying mental health issues contributing to your symptoms. Together, you and the provider will determine what form of treatment you would benefit from, including medication, therapy, or some other form of treatment.

A psychiatrist, nurse practitioner or physician assistant is a medical provider licensed to treat mental health disorders and prescribe medications. These providers offer initial screenings and diagnoses, offer prescriptions for medication and monitoring of them, and provide talk therapy. They may also refer patients to a therapist for more in-depth talk therapy.  Our medical providers prefer to work closely with your therapist for continuity of care. 

A therapist is a licensed professional who provides talk therapy, but does not have the ability to prescribe medications. Our therapist integrates evidence-based methods such as CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT-informed skills, and mindfulness. For couples, she draws from the Gottman Method to rebuild trust and improve communication.
