For patients 5-18 years old the initial psychiatric evaluation occurs over two appointments:

• First Appointment: A 30-minute session with the parent/guardian only to gather background information and discuss concerns.
• Second Appointment: A 60-minute session with the parent/guardian and the patient to complete the evaluation and discuss recommendations.

This thorough process helps us develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

For patients 18-65 years old and parents/guardians of patients the initial psychiatric evaluation will be conducted in a single session.

• A 60-minute session involving the patient focused on assessing, evaluating, and discussing a treatment plan.

To schedule an appointment, you can schedule online via the website or, you can call us during office hours or leave a detailed voicemail. Please include:

• Your name
• The patient’s name (if a minor)
• Date of birth
• Reason for the appointment
• Your contact information
• To cancel or reschedule, notify us at least 24 hours in advance to avoid fees. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment may result in a non-refundable deposit unless rescheduled with documentation at the physician's discretion.

• No, Be Well Psychiatry does not accept insurance.
  We operate on a cash-pay model to ensure personalized, high-quality care without the limitations imposed by insurance companies. However, we can provide you with a “superbill,” a detailed receipt with treatment codes, which you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.

For more information about payment options and policies, please contact our office.

We are a cash-pay practice, meaning payment is made directly to us rather than through insurance.

Payment Policy:

• A $100 deposit is due at the time of scheduling.
• The remaining balance is due on the day of the appointment.
• A card is kept on file for convenience.
• Services will not be rendered without payment.

Deposits are non-refundable for no-shows but transferable for rescheduled appointments made at least 24 hours in advance.

For any additional questions, feel free to contact us.

• No, Be Well Psychiatry does not prescribe medical marijuana licenses. This decision is based on concerns about the potential negative cognitive effects on the developing brain and the lack of FDA-approved, evidence-based indications for its use in the treatment of psychiatric conditions.
• Our practice is committed to utilizing evidence-based treatments that prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients. If you have questions about alternative treatment options, we encourage you to discuss them during your appointment.
