What should a new client know about working with you?

Patients can expect a collaborative and respectful approach to care. Dr. Poole prioritizes careful listening, clear communication, and shared decision-making.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Dr. Poole begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand a patient’s concerns, medical history, and prior treatment experiences. From there, he works collaboratively to develop an individualized treatment plan, which may include medication management, ketamine-assisted therapy, Spravato (esketamine), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), stellate ganglion blocks (SGB) and/or ongoing follow-up visits. Care is adjusted over time based on response, side effects, and evolving goals, with an emphasis on continuity and long-term stability.

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
  • 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

More information on payments and coverage

After scheduling your appointment, you will receive an email from Stella Mental Health (formerly BeSpoke Treatment) containing your intake paperwork. Please allow about 30 minutes to complete this form. Your responses will help your provider prepare for your upcoming appointment. All patients are required to complete the intake form 24 business hours before their appointment. You will receive a phone call from a dedicated Care Advocate who can answer any questions you may have. Please be prepared to provide a credit card to keep on file for co-pays or cancellation fees. Late cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full initial appointment fee. During your initial appointment, you’ll spend 60 minutes with your provider collaborating on a treatment plan tailored to your needs. If in-person treatments are recommended—such as TMS, Spravato, SGB, or ketamine therapy—our care team will guide you through the process and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
