FAQ
Common questions,honest answers.
Your first appointment is a 60-minute psychiatric evaluation. We'll review your mental health history, current symptoms, medications, medical history, and goals. By the end, you'll leave with a clear diagnosis (or working differential) and a proposed treatment plan — which we'll decide on together.
We accept several major insurance plans. Please contact us to confirm your specific coverage before booking. We also offer self-pay rates and can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
Telehealth appointments are conducted over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You'll receive a link before your appointment. All you need is a private space, a device with a camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Telehealth is available to patients located anywhere in Texas, Washington, or New Mexico.
Yes — in most cases, initial psychiatric evaluations can be completed via telehealth. If your clinical situation requires an in-person evaluation, we'll let you know before you book. Most patients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or mood disorders are eligible for telehealth from the start.
We are a psychiatric practice, not a therapy practice. Our focus is on evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management — with supportive counseling woven into appointments. We're happy to coordinate care with your existing therapist or refer you to one.
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Stimulant medications for ADHD (such as Adderall and Ritalin) and certain anxiety medications are controlled substances. We conduct a thorough evaluation before prescribing any controlled substance and follow Texas state regulations for monitoring and documentation.
Absolutely. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from a psychiatric evaluation. Many of our patients come in with mild-to-moderate symptoms that haven't fully responded to what they've tried before. Earlier intervention typically leads to better outcomes.
Yes. Everything you share is protected under HIPAA and Texas state privacy laws. We do not share your information without your written consent, with limited exceptions required by law (such as imminent safety concerns). Confidentiality is not just a legal obligation — it's the foundation of good psychiatric care.
