Integrative Psychiatry
means looking at the whole person.
Your story matters and and is very relevant in your journey of healing. In general, I will be meeting with you for a more extended period of time than most psychiatry providers. Healing is targeted from functional, physical, spiritual, emotional, energetic, and social lenses. People benefit from western, eastern, and/or holistic interventions. Our goal is always optimal wellness (rather than a quick fix, cover up bandage).

Psychiatric medication management

Comprehensive Psychiatry Evaluation:
We will meet for about 60-90 minutes online for the first visit with a primary goal of establishing a trusted patient provider relationship. We discuss what is ailing you with the intention of getting to know you as a human being, not just your “symptoms”. The comprehensive psychiatric evaluation reviews what you’re experiencing and we begin to establish a treatment plan. I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations for children, teens, and adults working with the following areas:
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Mood Swings
Obsessive and Compulsive Behaviors
Insomnia
ADHD
Autism
(Please note Integrative Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations usually average 90-120 minutes!)
Then what?
Follow Up Appointments:
After the first visit, we meet and discuss progress, reviewing recommendations, and determining what is helpful and what needs to be updated. This includes medication, labs, and/or other integrative interventions. You can chose your follow up appointment, as they are time based options.
45-minute and 60-minute sessions offer time to integrate psychotherapy. 30-minute session are more focused, addressing medication and holistic interventions only. Shorter appointments are usually more ideal for those who already have an outside therapist. Treatment plans are unique to that individual and we will come up with your plan together as a team, however in general, visit frequency can range from weekly to every couple months.
Insurance
General psychiatry - I am currently accepting select Aetna, Cigna, Optum, and NJ Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. ****I do not see patients with Medicaid/Medicare plans (primary or secondary)
Integrative psychiatry Functional labs and complementary treatments (energy work) are generally not covered by insurance. However, we offer concierge type plans for integrative, functional, holistic services. If your insurance is currently accepted, psychiatry evaluations and follow upswill generally be covered and functional lab costs and complemetary treatments are out of pocket.
