Initial Telephone Screening
15 minutes | No charge
The initial confidential telephone screening is designed to briefly understand the “goodness of fit” between your mental health needs and my practice. During our call, I will answer any questions you have about working collaboratively. In addition, the initial telephone session will provide you a chance to briefly state how I can be helpful to you.
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation Televisit
60-75 minutes | $400.00**
The psychiatric evaluation is designed to obtain all of the pertinent medical (current medications, chronic diseases, previous psychiatric hospitalizations, etc.) and psychosocial history in order to collaboratively develop a treatment plan. During this visit, I will ask you a set of structured questions. In addition, the session will focus on helping us to refine our treatment plan and goals. As a follow-up to this visit, I may request that you obtain certain routine laboratory tests that will help to ascertain your overall health and implications for psychiatric treatment. The costs associated with laboratory tests can be covered fully or partially through private insurance and are payable directly to the lab collecting the specimens.
Medication Initiation and Ongoing Management Televisit
30 minutes | $250.00**
During a medication management visit, we focus on how well you are responding to prescribed medications. Together, we will evaluate how you feel overall and assess your adherence to treatment as well as any side effects and how best to manage them. Moreover, I will provide an electronic prescription for any refills on psychiatric medications. In addition, routine laboratory tests may be ordered as part of monitoring your care.
Ordering and Interpretation of Genetic Testing for Psychiatric Medication Selection Televisit
60 minutes | $300.00**
This visit is conducted in two sessions- each 30 minutes. The first session briefly clarifies the purpose of and procedures used in obtaining a genetic sample for testing. The self-collection procedures are straightforward and painless and can be done at home. A follow-up session will be scheduled to discuss the results of the genetic testing and its implications for psychiatric medication selection and dosing. The above fee is for both sessions. The cost of the actual genetic testing is fully or partially covered by private health insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare, and is payable directly to the laboratory running the test.

This focused visit is to complete the necessary assessment intended to provide medical necessity for an animal support letter. In addition, the letter is drafted and given to those patients meeting the criteria for animal support.
Ongoing Psychotherapy Session Without Medication Management Televisit
50 minutes | $300.00**
Psychotherapy sessions without medication management are offered on a limited basis. The bulk of my practice is focused on the diagnosis and medication management of psychiatric disorders. However, there are times when psychotherapy is the sole treatment of choice. In these instances, I welcome our partnership to address your mental health wellbeing and goals with talk therapy.
