Can I get an estimate of my visit cost?

The best way to get a detailed estimate of your cost is to contact your insurance company directly, since your cost will depend on the details of your insurance. For some, it’s just a co-pay. If you have an unmet deductible it could be more. Call the number on your insurance card and ask about your plan’s coverage for outpatient psychiatric services.
What’s the difference between a therapist and psychiatrist?

Psychiatrists are doctors who have specialized training in diagnosing and treating complex mental health conditions through medication management. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or similar, a psychiatrist may be a good place to start. Other signs that you should see a psychiatrist include: Your primary care doctor or another doctor thinks you may benefit from the services of a psychiatrist and provides a referral You are interested in taking medication to treat a mental health condition Your symptoms are severe enough to regularly interfere with your everyday life The term “therapist” can apply to a range of professionals including social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychoanalysts. Working with a therapist generally involves regular talk therapy sessions where you discuss your feelings, problem-solving strategies, and coping mechanisms to help with your condition.
Can an online psychiatrist diagnose?

Absolutely. In most cases, virtual psychiatry is as effective as in-person care (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). Your psychiatrist can provide an evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan. Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.
How long will I see my psychiatrist?

It’s up to you! Depending on your needs, you may see your psychiatrist for several months, or you may benefit from more long-term ongoing treatment. Finding the right treatment option can take some time, but it’s always worth it. Your psychiatrist will work with you to set goals for your treatment so you know what to expect.
Which medications do you prescribe?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to medications. Your psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment option that’s right for your needs.
What if I don’t want to take medication?

That’s okay! Our psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment plan that’s right for you. If this doesn’t include medication, your psychiatrist can refer you to other treatment options, such as talk therapy.
Is my information kept private?
