Treatment Consulting

Finding the right path to treatment can be overwhelming without guidance. I provide guidance for those who are considering addiction and mental health treatment for themselves or a family member.

Who Do I Treat?

Prior to private practice I worked in adolescent and adult inpatient mental health and addiction treatment. This means I am comfortable with most psychological struggles. No matter how big or shameful you feel your problems are, you will not be receiving any judgments from me.

Medication Support

I work closely with prescribers to provide comprehensive treatment for my clients. If you need help finding a good psychiatrist or prescriber, I can quickly connect you to a provider. My colleagues provide medication and collaborate with me regarding your treatment.

I am a medication friendly therapist. MATs, stimulants, cannabis, anti-depressants, psychedelic assisted treatments, mood-stabilizers, etc. I have a working knowledge of nearly all psychotropic substances. I am comfortable working with and providing support for those who are currently on medication or need help finding a prescriber.

I am not a prescriber nor do I give medical advice. I can give you and your psychiatrist information based on my evaluation which can support you in finding the most helpful path.

Insurance and Payment

In Network Provider:

Magellan: Yale Health (Yale student, faculty, and staff friendly provider)

Aetna

Optum: United, Oxford, UMR, etc. fall under this umbrella

Payment Responsibility is dependent on your in-network benefits, which I can check!

Out of Network:

I am out of network with all other insurance providers. This means you will be billed directly for our sessions. I will provide a monthly receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement is dependent on your out of network benefits. Some get reimbursed up to 100% of their session cost, others do not have out of network benefits.

Therapy is expensive. I do provide sliding scale rates based on financial need and availability.

Payment Accepted

Consulting

Think of consulting as outsourcing guidance to a professional. Most people aren’t trained in, nor have the experience to provide objective and practical support to loved ones who are struggling. My experience has allowed me to develop a large network of inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, psychologists, psychiatrists, educational consultants, schools, attorneys, and other resources that can help simplify the intense process of finding the best quality care for your loved ones.

I provide consulting for:

  • Intervention for addiction and mental illness treatment

  • Finding the right treatment centers

  • IEP and school accommodations

  • Psychological Testing Services

  • Finding the right psychiatric providers

  • Families of Adults/Adolescents with substance use, mental health, or learning disabilities

Supervision and Training

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I can provide supervision and training to professionals. I am confident in providing supervision, training, and guidance to the following:

  • Associate Level Marriage and Family Therapists who need hours. Individual or group.

  • Licensed Therapists looking for private supervision

  • Guidance on building a private practice

  • Companies, schools, and providers that want to enhance their competency
