Frequently Asked
Questions.

The easiest first step is a free, no-pressure 15-minute consultation. We’ll listen to what’s going on, answer your questions, and help you understand your options — with no obligation to continue.

We take time to hear your story, discuss what you’re experiencing, explain how we might help, and go over practical matters like insurance and scheduling. It’s a relaxed conversation to see if we’re the right fit.

We provide care for a wide range of conditions — including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, sleep disorders, chronic pain, and more. You can explore them all on our Conditions page.

Yes. We provide compassionate, age-appropriate care for adolescents as well as adults. Reach out and we’ll confirm we’re the right fit for your or your child’s specific needs.

If symptoms like low mood, anxiety, or trouble functioning have lasted more than a couple of weeks and are affecting your daily life, it’s worth talking to a professional. A free consultation is a low-pressure way to find out.

Yes — we accept most major insurance plans. During your consultation, we’ll help you verify your specific benefits so there are no surprises.

Yes. The initial 15-minute consultation is completely free and carries no obligation. It’s simply a chance to talk and see how we can help.

Often, yes. Most major insurers — including Medicare and many commercial plans — cover TMS for treatment-resistant depression. Our team helps handle the pre-authorization process for you.

Most patients report only a mild tapping sensation on the scalp. It’s generally not painful, requires no anesthesia, and you can drive yourself home immediately after each session.

No. TMS is non-invasive and requires no sedation. You stay fully awake and alert throughout, and can return to your normal day right away.

A standard course typically involves sessions five days a week for about six weeks, followed by a tapering phase. Each session lasts roughly 19–37 minutes, fitting easily into your routine.

TMS is very well tolerated. The most common side effect is mild scalp discomfort during the first few sessions, which usually fades. Unlike medications, there are no systemic side effects like weight gain or drowsiness.

Yes. In addition to depression, TMS is FDA-cleared as a treatment for OCD. It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and can help when other treatments haven’t been enough.

It’s the ongoing process of prescribing and overseeing your psychiatric medication — selecting the right one, finding the right dose, monitoring your response, and adjusting over time. It’s a partnership, not a one-time prescription.

Not necessarily. Some people benefit from short-term support, others from longer-term treatment. We’ll discuss your goals openly and revisit the plan regularly — it’s always a shared decision.

Please tell us — that history is valuable. It helps us avoid what didn’t work and choose options more likely to suit you. We start carefully and monitor closely to keep you comfortable.

Absolutely, and it often works best that way. We take a whole-person approach and coordinate medication with therapy and, when helpful, Neurostar® TMS.

Psychotherapy — or talk therapy — is a collaborative process with a trained professional to help you understand your thoughts and emotions, work through challenges, and develop healthier ways of coping. It’s confidential and tailored to you.

Many people benefit from both. Medication can ease symptoms while therapy helps you understand patterns and build lasting skills — together they often work better than either alone. It’s entirely your choice.

Mostly, we get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you in and what you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to dive into anything you’re not ready to share — it moves at your pace.

Yes. Therapy is confidential, within the standard legal and safety limits we’ll explain up front. Your privacy and trust are the foundation of the work.

Diagnosis combines a detailed clinical evaluation with objective testing. We use Creyos, a validated cognitive-screening platform, to measure attention, memory, and executive function — so your diagnosis is based on real data, not guesswork.

Creyos is a science-based digital platform for cognitive assessment. It uses short, engaging tasks to objectively measure areas like attention and executive function, helping us screen for ADHD and track cognitive health over time.

Absolutely. ADHD often goes undiagnosed into adulthood. Our evaluation and Creyos testing are well suited for adults who suspect ADHD may explain lifelong challenges with focus and organization.

You’re not out of options. Treatment-resistant depression is one of our areas of focus. Therapies like Neurostar® TMS work differently than traditional medication and can help many people who haven’t found relief elsewhere.

Every person and treatment is different. Some options work gradually over several weeks, while others act more rapidly. We’ll set clear expectations for your specific plan and track your progress closely.

The baby blues are mild and usually pass within two weeks. Postpartum depression is more intense and persistent, lasting longer and interfering with daily life. If symptoms linger beyond two weeks, it’s worth reaching out.

Yes. We offer doctor-supported smoking cessation, combining proven medications with behavioral and mood support to make quitting far more achievable than willpower alone.
