Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

Getting Started

Do you offer an introductory phone call? Yes. I offer a brief introductory phone call to see if we may be a good fit and to answer initial questions about the process.

How do I get started? You can request an appointment through the website or contact the practice directly. After scheduling, you will receive secure intake paperwork to complete prior to your first visit.

Do you offer in-person or virtual appointments? I offer secure telehealth appointments for adults located anywhere in California, as well as in-person appointments in Beverly Hills.

What services do you provide? I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and psychotherapy for adults.

What conditions do you commonly treat? Common areas of focus include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, reproductive mental health concerns, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, burnout, life transitions, and relationship or interpersonal challenges.

Do you accept insurance? I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. Upon request, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Do you accept Medicare? Please note that I cannot bill Medicare and am unable to see patients with Medicare plans.

How do I learn about your fees? Fees are discussed directly when you contact the practice. This allows us to review the services you are seeking and ensure transparency before scheduling.

How do payments work? Payment is collected at the time of service through secure online payment.

How often will we meet? Appointment frequency varies depending on individual needs. Many patients begin with more frequent visits and transition to less frequent follow-ups over time.

What is your cancellation policy? At least 24 hours’ notice is appreciated for scheduling changes whenever possible. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a cancellation fee.

Do you prescribe controlled substances? Controlled medications may be prescribed when clinically appropriate following a comprehensive evaluation and ongoing monitoring. Controlled substances are not prescribed during the first visit and require frequent in-person visits at regular intervals.

Is this an emergency or crisis service? No. This practice does not provide emergency or crisis care. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
