There are many administrative, and other tasks which need to be completed by the practice in coordination with the patient. The Patient Account enables you to 1) review, complete, sign, and upload forms, documents & results, 2) complete symptom- and diagnosis-related questionnaires, 3) manage appointments & reminders, 4) participate in telehealth sessions (in-person preferred), and 5) make payments. The patient account enables many administrative and other tasks so that session time can instead be spent maintaining and improving patient progress.

Securely storing a patient's credit card allows for rapid and seamless collection of session, administrative, and no-show fees. Ongoing timely treatment requires a mutually respectful relationship which includes avoiding unpaid balances, and enabling the practice to collect fees as each is due.

Yes, but ADHD is a disorder, not conditioned behavior. Medications are appropriate for verifiable disorders, whereas extinction therapies are more appropriate for conditioned behaviors.

ADHD diagnosis requires, at a minimum, multi-session assessment, completion of multiple measurement and diagnostic tools, and contacting family, friends, and employers to discuss potential symptoms of illness. Any pre-existing ADHD diagnosis, and its historical prescribing regimen, will be re-assessed to ensure necessity, appropriateness, safety, and effectiveness.

Existing neuropsychological testing results, or long-term treatment records from a single provider could help to expedite an ADHD intake. Please note that stimulant, or other controlled substance prescribing will require an agreement to be signed.

The fee for an ADHD intake is $450 to account for additional testing and data gathering.

Yes, benzodiazepines can be safely prescribed for evidence-based, short-term uses. In rare cases, these medications are prescribed long-term at reasonable, safe doses. Patients who are accustomed to high dosing would be required to taper to lower doses, and to trial alternatives such as blood pressure medications, and other non-controlled, often adequately effective medications. Please note that benzodiazepine, or other controlled substance prescribing will require an agreement to be signed.

In rare cases, opiates can be prescribed if a patient's physical pain significantly exacerbates psychiatric symptoms. However, physical pain is a medical condition best treated by medical specialists. Please note that opiate, or other controlled substance prescribing will require an agreement to be signed.
