“I contacted the link provided, to email the Health Center, in hopes of finding help for my 17 son. Which has been EXTREMELY difficult, considering the resources or there lack of, for minors dealing with addiction. To my surprise, I received a response within 5-10 minutes. The information and platform provided, was user friendly, easy to understand and navigate. I was able to book an appointment for the same day, that's extremely impressive. Once inside Mrs. Chinyere Kalu, was extremely welcoming and within minutes, I could see my son felt comfortable and relaxed, as was I. I'm excited for my son, to finally get the help he needs. I highly recommend the Anya Medspa & Behavioral Health Center. ”

“NP Kalu was very nice and the office seemed cleaned. She arrived late and seemed in a rush. She got on a call with the next patient before I even left the room. She saw me on a Saturday so she may have been packed. Other than that she seemed great and helped me get my medicine.”

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $250 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150-250 for 60 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

My appointment was scheduled a week in advanced and I selected an in person visits which was available on the site. Less than an hour before the visit Dr. Kalu texts me to let me know their location changed and she’s willing to do over the phone. I didn’t want that and was willing to go to the new location but then she said that she didn’t feel like driving there so my only options were to do virtual or reschedule on Monday (I wasn’t available Monday). She told me my insurance was accepted last visit but this time said she must not have actually checked it and ended our session halfway through since I couldn’t pay out of pocket. She also gave me bad information about how to apply for disability by saying I had to do it through my job. Overall she is not reliable as a healthcare provider.

Great Listener, very knowledgeable.

NP Kalu was very nice and the office seemed cleaned. She arrived late and seemed in a rush. She got on a call with the next patient before I even left the room. She saw me on a Saturday so she may have been packed. Other than that she seemed great and helped me get my medicine.
this provider is not great for people struggling with ocd. she does not have a clear understanding of it and told me i would end up in jail for acting on my intrusive thoughts if i did not get help. people with ocd greatly fear acting on their thoughts. the appointment made my ocd worse and she made me cry

Absolutely amazing she listens and understands.
Verified patientVideo visit
She was nice enough at first but it felt like she was imputing her personal beliefs in our sessions and it made me uncomfortable sharing my more severe symptoms.
very nice and very helpful
Verified patientVideo visit
My experience was great. The staff was friendly and easy to communicate with. The Dr. Was super friendly and was very easy to talk with. I feel she listened to my concerns and I was very satisfied with my treatment plan. I will definitely be returning for a visit in a couple weeks.
Verified patientVideo visit
This was our first visit so We'll have to wait and see what kind of outcome. Although the pointers were very helpful and I tried to use material talked about asap last night but they didn't work yet so will see what the next two weeks will bring.
