Compassionate,
Supportive
Medication Management.

After scheduling your initial appointment, you will receive an invitation to access our Patient Portal. To ensure a smooth experience, please complete paperwork through the Patient Portal at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. This may include: Patient Information, Patient History, Notice of Privacy Practices, Acknowledgement of Receipt of Private Practices, Email/Text and Telehealth Consent, Office Policies, and Release of Information (including any prior psychiatric records, Primary Care Provider details, and therapist information).

For your convenience, credit card information will be securely stored for future appointments and fees. At the conclusion of your first appointment, we can coordinate your subsequent follow-up session. Our Patient Portal serves as a secure platform for messaging, payments, and document sharing. Furthermore, you'll have access to telehealth appointments directly from your patient portal.

We are not contracted with any insurance company, including Medicare.

The distinct advantage of opting for private pay is that treatment plans are collaboratively determined by the client and their healthcare provider, free from the constraints of insurance protocols. Commencing treatment does not require any authorizations, and your private medical records remain confidential – they are only shared with insurance companies if you decide to do so by submitting the information to your insurance.

Initial evaluation is $300, and follow-up evaluations are $150. Payment is due at time of service.

We provide conscientious medication management. We do not prescribe long-term benzodiazepines for daily use or high-dose stimulants. Frequently, we assist clients seeking to taper off these types of medications. Your medication plan will be evaluated during your appointment. Kindly be aware, prescriptions for these types of medication may not be issued during the initial visit.

Yes, these would include: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) or Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), Ketamine Therapy, Intensive Outpatient Treatment, Case Management, Emotional Support and Service Animal Letters, Disability Evaluations, Risk Assessments for Surgeries, Court-Ordered Treatment, Assessments for Employment, Weapons Ownership, Ability to Operate Specific Vehicles, Child Custody, and more. Additionally, I do not prescribe high-dose stimulants, high-dose benzodiazepines, injectables, or Suboxone.

If you are facing a life-threatening emergency, please dial 911 immediately. If you find yourself in a mental health crisis, we strongly encourage you to reach out to someone you trust. You can contact the 24-hour Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 by calling or texting, or promptly seek assistance at the nearest Emergency Room. Additionally, you can reach out to Smoky Mountain Center at 1-800-849-6127 or contact RHA Mobile Crisis at 1-888-573-1006.

We recommend utilizing the patient portal for communication for non urgent matters. For matters that do require more prompt attention, you can contact our office number and leave a voicemail. If you have set up the HIPPA compliant spruce app, you may text the office. Please be aware that there may be a charge of $50 for after-hours phone contact, which covers up to 15 minutes of consultation time. Please note that medication refills and scheduling requests are not processed on weekends or holidays.

We kindly request that you provide us with ample notice, ideally 24 hours in advance, to avoid incurring a cancellation or missed appointment fee. A charge of $60 will be applied for appointment no-shows or late cancellations. In the event of three or more consecutive late cancellations or no-shows, the patient may regrettably be subject to discharge from our services.
