FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is my approach to treatment?
​
I offer medication management, individual psychotherapy, or both services based on a thorough clinical assessment. While an integrative approach that offers both treatment strategies is highly beneficial, I also collaborate with therapists and primary care practitioners in support of a holistic treatment approach. After your initial assessment, I will advise you on whether I can become your treatment provider or if an alternate resource or clinical setting would be a better fit for your needs.
How long is a typical appointment and how much do sessions cost?
​
Initial assessment appointments are 90 minutes in length while follow-up appointments are 25 or 50 minutes depending on your treatment needs.
The current service fees are:
-
15-minute Initial Consultation: Free
-
90-minute Diagnostic Assessment: $600
-
25-minute Follow-Up Appointment: $250
-
50-minute Follow-Up Appointment: $350
