Answers before your first step.
Do you offer telehealth visits?
Yes. Most visits can be completed by secure video from the comfort of your home, with in-person options available. Telehealth makes it easier to start and stay in care.
Do you take insurance?
We work to make care accessible and will review your options with you before your first visit. Reach out and we’ll walk you through coverage, self-pay, and next steps.
What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit is an unhurried, confidential conversation. Your provider reviews your history and goals, answers your questions, and builds an individualized plan with you — no pressure.
How does Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) work?
MAT combines FDA-approved medication with supportive care to ease withdrawal and cravings. We handle evaluation, induction, maintenance, relapse prevention, and recovery planning at a pace that works for you.
What psychiatric conditions do you treat?
We evaluate and treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and insomnia, with personalized medication management and careful follow-up.
Is medical weight management right for me?
We assess candidacy for GLP-1 therapies and, when appropriate, combine medication with nutrition, lifestyle counseling, and ongoing monitoring so weight management is safe and sustainable.
Taking the first step is the hardest. We'll take it with you.
