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
While I am not currently a member of private insurance panels, you may be eligible for reimbursement for out of network provider visits. Please contact your insurance company to learn more, and I can provide you with necessary documentation if you seek reimbursement via your insurance plan.
Are there in-person appointments?
Currently, I only offers telehealth visits, so it is important to have a consistent audio and video connection during your scheduled appointment time.
Can Dr. Hermanstyne see patients who reside anywhere in the country?
I can only see patients who are currently California residents.
What is the cancellation policy?
Once you schedule an appointment, you must notify me at minimum 24 hours in advance of your appointment time if you must cancel or reschedule. If you do not cancel or reschedule without at least 24 hours notice, you will be subject to the full cost of the scheduled session.
