The way I practice psychiatry safeguards your privacy from Big Data by handwriting your records to keep them totally offline. I can do this because I do not contract with any insurance companies – all of which would require electronic medical records that are accessible to third party entities.

My Direct Pay policy involves an affordable fee but is patient-centered and and prioritizes empowerment, personalized care, and freedom of choice. And I can provide you with a claim form to send to your insurance. Any partial reimbursement will depend on your plan. And they rarely – if ever- ask to see your personal records. And you can refuse.

Here, unpacking emotions gently and safely is included in the sessions along with med management when wanted.
