The types of treatment to be employed during sessions will vary according to your comfort level, preference, and readiness for change. In addition to medication management, we are likely to suggest changes to lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, hydration or other environmental variables. We may also recommend learning more about the nature or origin of your condition in the form of reading, writing, and reflection to foster personal insight and self-awareness.
We make every effort to be authentic, fun, and collaborative.
First meetings are generally one hour. We will review your symptoms, personal history, life goals, and treatment goals. Initial visits are preferred to be in person.
To provide individualized treatment and to have quality time to spend with patients without restriction, we only accept some insurances. If you are out of network, you can file for out of network insurance benefits with a furnished receipt for care provided. This is between you and your insurance carrier and is not guaranteed.
