Do you provide therapy?Following an evaluation, we create a treatment plan. The treatment plan often includes recommendations for medication and/or therapy. While supportive psychotherapy is provided during all sessions, this is generally in the context of diagnostic evaluation or medication management. For more frequent psychotherapy, or specific types of psychotherapy, we will refer you to the appropriate resources.

Will I get a diagnosis after my initial evaluation?Sometimes, a diagnosis is fairly straightforward, and this will be provided following an assessment. Oftentimes, further evaluation is necessary. This may include labwork, additional sessions, questionnaires, speaking with family members, etc.

What do you mean by evidence-based practice (EBP)?We strive to apply research findings into clinical decision-making while also considering the unique needs of each particular patient. When EBP is used, we are more likely to achieve the desired outcome.

How long is an assessment?This can vary, but is typically between 40-60 minutes duration. For some clients, a longitudinal assessment with multiple visits is recommended.

What is the cost of an assessment?If you do not have insurance, the self pay rate will vary depending on the complexity of your case. The cost will be provided following the initial phone call.

What happens when I don’t agree with the treatment plan?We strive for a collaborative approach. Every case is unique, and we will listen to your concerns while also striving to provide recommendations based on our experience.

Can I get methadone at your clinic?No, we use Buprenorphine for the treatment of opiate use disorder. For some clients, methadone would be a more appropriate treatment, so we would need to refer those clients elsewhere.

What if I don't have access to a smartphone, laptop, or computer; can I still be a patient at your clinic?Unfortunately no, since we rely on technology to facilitate communication, completion of forms, and symptom tracking with measurement based tools.
