I prescribe most mental health medications including antidepressants, anxiolytics (anxiety medications), antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, sleep medications and non-stimulant ADHD medications.
Stimulants cannot be prescribed (e.g. focalin, ritalin, adderall, vyvanse). However, there are non-stimulant options available for ADHD treatment that we can try.
Long-acting injectable antipsychotics can only be prescribed if you already have a facility that administers the injection (e.g. home-health, some pharmacies). Since appointments are only via telehealth, another facility must administer the injection.
You will first book a FREE 15 minute consultation time in the calendar. The purpose of the consultation appointment is to discuss your needs and concerns; and to schedule the initial evaluation appointment if you desire to move forward with me as your medication provider. There is no pressure to make a decision at the consultation appointment. You may also take time to decide and reach out at a later time to make the evaluation appointment. I strive to get patients on the calendar for their initial evaluation appointment within a week of their free 15 minute consultation. Consultation appointments are brief and medication will not be prescribed until the initial evaluation appointment.
Yes, I do offer cash sessions available at an affordable rate. $122 for the initial evaluation appointment and $88 per follow up appointment after that.
Follow-ups are usually at 1, 2 or 3 month increments depending on patient stability and patient preference. The initial evaluation is up to 1 hour in length and the follow-ups are up to 30 minutes. If you prefer longer follow-up appointments, this can absolutely be arranged. Continuous follow-ups are important to ensure you remain well and that medications are adjusted appropriately and successfully.
I am not currently accepting counseling only clients due to availability but this is subjected to change.
Don’t feel like you need a consultation appointment? No problem. Choose the booking link under your insurance type and you can make your initial 60-minute appointment there.
Note: There is no direct booking option (yet) for 60 minute initial evaluation appointments for OPTUM, OSCAR, UMR, UNITED HEALTH CARE plans- please schedule a 15-minute consult first and we will take care it of from there!
