Question 4

Are you the right doctor for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes or no.   Unfortunately, it is difficult to immediately know if we will be a direct fit with one another.

While I am experienced in a number of treatments and modalities, I will have to meet with you for a consultation to determine the appropriateness to the clinic.

After one to two sessions, we can make the decision together.  While I am a great fit for some, I am happy to work with you on finding an appropriate provider if necessary!

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

I am not contracted with any commercial or third-party insurance payers.  Due to limitations set strictly by many companies, I do not accept insurance so that I am more flexible and accessible for my patients. 
 
However, I am happy to provide itemized superbills to assist reimbursement from your insurance company.  If you are not sure about whether or not you have out-of-network benefits, it is suggested that you speak to your insurance company, inquiring about reimbursement benefits for your particular plan in regard to out-of-network psychiatrists.
