What should a new client know about working with you?

This process is not as anxiety provoking as you may think. _If it was your blood pressure and I am your provider "I am on your team" and so it is for your mental health " I am on your team".

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A successful experience starts with completing and returning the intake forms before the initial session. This allows the provider to start to get to know a little about you. Within the first session, we discuss your identified chief concerns- then we complete the necessary paper work. The final step is generally developing an individualized plan of care. The plan of care can includes, education, medication management and or therapy. Before we close the session we listen and address any questions or concerns. you might have.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $180 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $80-150 for 45 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

Dr. Alicia was one of the best psychiatrist I’ve ever had. She listened to everything I had to say she took into account that I had more than just myself to take care of. She understood that I could not leave without friends or didn’t feel comfortable in the area I’m in And she was on point every step of the way with asking me about family history which my father has everything that I have but that’s neither here nor there doctor Alicia yes A+ and if you want a good psychiatrist I suggest Dr. Alicia because she’s mine now for life

I began to get frustrated because the doctors I selected didn’t accept my insurance. But when I finally found a provider that accepted my insurance I felt like it was a great match!

I was unsure about using online telehealth for the fear that my emotions and issues wouldn't be portrayed in the light they needed, but she was absolutely incredible and listened to my pointless rants and really figured out who I was to give me the best care. I can't wait to follow the plan she's help me build for my mental health!

My visit was more than I expected. My past experiences I felt as if I was on the witness stand of a court room. All eyes on me while I spill my deepest pain and thoughts. Not with Alicia Scott. It was so easy to actually have a two way conversation. I was surprise by her medical knowledge, I was not expecting us to review my medical history. I walked away from our conversation feeling refreshed. We discussed a plan for me to work on to make life a little easier medically, emotionally and at home. I look forward to our next visit. I wish I could pick up the phone and call her everyday.

I have struggled with a few mental health disorders for the better half of a decade. As I moved back to Maryland she made sure my medications were filled and I was taken care of.
