Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Do you offer in-person or telepsychiatry?

Both! Because you deserve options. With our mix of in-person and telepsychiatry, you choose what fits your day, your mood, and your schedule.

In-person if you want a cozy office, solid eye contact, and complimentary tissues that don’t feel like sandpaper.
Telepsychiatry if you prefer therapy while wearing pajama pants or hiding from Oklahoma weather. 🌪️ You can meet from your home, office, car (parked!), or that cozy corner you pretend is a retreat. You stay in your comfort zone, reduce stigma, boost continuity of care, and never need to explain another “tardy slip.”

Either way, the care is the same—just the pants vary.

❓Why cash-pay? Isn’t insurance supposed to help?

In theory, yes. In reality, insurance promises “access,”until it’s time to actually cover something. Suddenly it’s all, “Hmm, let me think about it,” and boom — denial letter.

With cash-pay, you get:

Real privacy (no middlemen poking into your chart)
Longer sessions
No surprise denials
No “who is this claim adjuster and why are they deciding your treatment?”
Ability to use HSA/FSA
No giant deductibles or copays that cost more than our cash rate

It’s concierge-level service without the concierge price tag — because we keep our patient panel intentionally small.

❓Who answers my questions?

Me.
A board-certified psychiatrist.
Not a chatbot.
Not someone named “Jason from billing.”

You get direct, personal communication — usually within hours, always within 24.

❓If I choose telepsychiatry, will the quality be the same?

Absolutely. The only difference is:

Your psychiatrist sees your face in HD
Your pets can join the appointment
You don’t have to drive, park, or put on real shoes
You get to wait in your own waiting room

❓What makes this practice different?

You always see a Board Certified Psychiatrist. No P.A, No N.P and No student
Appointments when you need them. We offer mornings, evenings, weekends… Because mental health doesn’t clock out at 5 p.m, your time is valuable, your comfort matters, and your mental health shouldn’t be a maze

❓Is this right for me?

If you want flexibility, privacy, humor, compassion, and high-quality psychiatric care delivered in a way that respects both your time and your sanity — yes.
If you’d like a provider who takes your mental health seriously but not themselves too seriously — definitely yes.

❓Can I contact my psychiatrist between sessions?

Yes. We offer secure messaging and brief check-ins when appropriate—especially for:

Medication questions
Side effect concerns
Emotional check-ins between full sessions

You’re never left in the dark. Well, not for midnight existential crises, but for almost everything else, we’ve got you..

❓Is my privacy protected?

Absolutely.

No information is shared with insurance companies
Your records remain 100% confidential between you and your psychiatrist
You are in control of your mental health data

❓What’s the difference between your service and concierge psychiatry?

We offer many of the same high-touch benefits as concierge care:

Small caseload
Direct access
Same-week appointments
Longer, more in-depth sessions

But without the hefty subscription fees or annual retainers. You pay only when you need care—with no compromise in quality. You just don’t have to sell a kidney to afford it.

❓Why does mental health matter for school and work?

Because brains run the show.
Focus, motivation, memory, emotional regulation, and decision-making don’t just magically cooperate because we want them to. When they’re off, school and work become harder than they need to be—no matter how smart or motivated someone is.

❓Can’t people just push through?

Most already have. For years.
By the time people reach us, they’ve tried coffee, planners, apps, therapy, motivational podcasts, and sheer willpower. Pushing works…until it doesn’t. Clarity tends to work longer.

❓Do I really need a psychiatrist?

Not always—but sometimes it helps to ask the person trained to sort out whether something is stress, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or a mix of all three (because brains like to multitask).

A good evaluation can save a lot of guessing.

❓Can one visit actually help?

Surprisingly often, yes.
A single, thoughtful consultation can provide reassurance, direction, and a plan—sometimes preventing years of “Why isn’t this working?”
