No. We do not take insurance, including Medicare.

Unfortunately, due to the volume of patients, we are unable to offer free consultations. The only route to become a new patient at our practice is to schedule an appointment for an initial evaluation.

Patients are requested to provide valid payment details when booking their initial evaluation. These payment details are vaulted securely by our payment’s processor. Your card will be charged at the time of booking the appointment according to the prevailing fees schedule.

Missed appointments as well as cancellations and re-scheduled appointments will be subject to a full charge if not received at least 72 hours in advance . This is necessary because a significant time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you.

These providers differ in the training they have undertaken and the level of care they are licensed to provide. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have spent at least 12 years in higher education. By contrast, registered nurses hold an associate's or bachelor's degree in nursing, which can take around two years to complete. Some nurses pursue an additional two years of training to earn a master's degree in nursing, allowing them to practice as psychiatric nurse practitioners. Given this accelerated timeline, many states place restrictions on psychiatric nurse practitioners' ability to practice without supervision by a physician

Psychiatrists are specialized medical doctors who have completed a four-year training program ("residency") in addition to earning a medical degree. Clinical psychologists are therapists who have completed a doctorate in psychology. Psychiatrists and psychologists therefore provide complementary mental health services. While psychiatrists typically focus on biological modifications through medication management, possibly in combination with some therapy, clinical psychologists are exclusively trained to facilitate behavioral modifications through therapy, and often specialize in providing a specific type of therapy that may be effective for certain conditions
