More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I didn't know that the actual psychiatrist was not going to see me. It was the NP/PA. But overall, it was great.

Honestly bad I don’t think I have ever had a worst experience. I came out of this appointment with more anxiety than ever. She wanted to put me on a medicine that I did not feel comfortable with and she goes don’t worry it’s fine it’s a good medicine. She didn’t even talk to me she just read me questions the entire time.

Unclear communication, not a very good listener.
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
I would say Dr. Kate was an amazing listener. She allowed me to state what I was dealing with and heard me fully. She was very patient and asked great questions with lots of examples of answers which helped me cover most if not all the symptoms I was experiencing.
