Dr. Rachel Knight, MD

Psychiatrist
CA
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in addiction psychiatry and perinatal mental health. I'm Clinical Director of the Maternal Mental Health Program at Foresight Mental Health and hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification from Postpartum Support International. I treat adults with mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, psychosis, substance use disorders, perinatal mental health concerns, and major life transitions — with particular experience in pregnancy/postpartum care, addiction and recovery, and supporting families affected by a loved one's substance use. I completed my residency and addiction psychiatry fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, where I've served as faculty and clinical leader, and have published on addiction, peer support, and family support for substance use disorders. ADHD Treatment Policy: Foresight requires validated, objective ADHD testing before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment. Previous testing and records from outside providers may be accepted following clinical review. If testing is needed, Foresight offers IVA-2 ADHD testing as a self-pay service.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based. I offer medication management, but believe medication should be an informed choice. I can also support patients navigating psychiatric medication decisions during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I use motivational interviewing to support autonomy and meaningful change, and draw on the CRAFT framework when working with families of loved ones with substance use disorders.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your history, goals, and prior treatment. From there, we build a personalized plan — which may include medication, psychoeducation, lifestyle changes, and coordination with your support network.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $300 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $300 for 60 minutes
  • 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
