New Patients
Starting care is simpler than it looks.
Here is what to expect, what to bring, and how to prepare for your first visit.
Book a free consultation
Schedule a 15-minute phone call so we can talk about what you need and whether we're the right fit.
Complete intake forms
After you book, you'll receive a secure link to intake forms, including your medical and psychiatric history.
Attend your first visit
Your initial evaluation is 60 minutes. We'll review your history, discuss options, and build a plan together.
What to bring
- A valid ID and insurance card
- A list of current medications and dosages
- Names and contact information for your current therapist or primary-care provider
- Any recent lab work or records related to your psychiatric care
- A list of questions you want to discuss
Insurance & fees
We accept several major insurance plans and also offer self-pay options. If you do not see your plan listed, contact us and we can check your out-of-network benefits or discuss a reasonable self-pay rate.
Currently accepted plans include:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts
- Aetna
- UnitedHealthcare / Optum
- Cigna
- Self-pay / out-of-network
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. I see patients via secure video anywhere in Massachusetts, as well as in person for those nearby.
How long are appointments?
Initial evaluations are 60 minutes. Follow-up medication-management visits are 30 minutes.
Do I need a referral?
Not usually. You can book directly. If your insurance requires a referral, we can help coordinate that.
What if I only need therapy, not medication?
This practice focuses on medication management. If therapy is your primary need, I'm happy to refer you to trusted therapists I collaborate with.
