What should a new client know about working with you?
As a new client, it's important to know that your comfort, safety, and trust are paramount in our sessions. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. Each session is tailored to your needs, with clear communication about treatment options, ensuring you remain an active participant in your care. Together, we'll build a treatment plan that aligns with your personal goals and lifestyle.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our journey starts with a thorough initial consultation where we explore your mental health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. Following this, I develop an individualized treatment plan, often combining medication management and therapeutic strategies. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor progress, adjust treatments as necessary, and provide ongoing support. Open communication and collaboration form the foundation of our work together.

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: $150 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 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
More information on payments and coverage
Our Practice take almost all Major Insurances.
I accept various insurance plans and also offer a transparent self-pay option. Payment details, including copayments or fees, will be discussed prior to your first appointment.

Things went better then expected and was very happy with the transparency

Very Caring, Knowledgeable and made me feel heard
More than 1 year agoSL
Had multiple appointments with Paul and he was late to each one. First appointment he was 20 minutes late, second appointment 10 minutes late and third appointment ten minutes late. Each appointment I mentioned to Paul that I was not interested in SSRIs or taking daily medication. He continued to evaluate me for SSRIs and daily medications. Will not be going back and would recommend seeing someone else who listens.

It was poor! Office never contacted me per their own instructions for the appt. Waited until last minute and made me fill out registration forms 3xs and then provider wouldn't see me. Person in office was foreign and I couldn't understand a single word she said. It was a terrible , rushed experience and I wouldn't recommend.

The doctor wasted an hour of my time to me he wouldn't write my medicine. I asked him at the beginning of the appointment if he would and he led me on. Don't see this doctor.

Despite spending a whole hour with me, I felt like previous diagnoses were discounted and ultimately no real conclusion was come to.
