When Growing Minds Need Specialized Care
Things I hear all the time from patients and families seeking care:
"My child is struggling in school despite being so smart"
"The anxiety is taking over their life"
"We've tried everything and nothing is working"
"I don't know if this is normal or if we need help"
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Whether you are seeking care for yourself or your child/teen, you deserve the right support. You need a psychiatrist who understands how mental health challenges show up differently at each stage of development and can take the time to see the whole person.
At Constellation Psychiatry, I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with therapeutic techniques, practical strategies, and genuine understanding of what families are going through. I have expertise in a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD, along with simple to complex presentations, treatment-resistant conditions, and situations requiring nuanced and comprehensive psychiatric evaluation.
From thorough initial assessments to ongoing treatment, each session is delivered with the attention and care that children, teens, and young adults deserve.
Initial Evaluations
Our initial evaluation forms the foundation for our work together. This is a comprehensive, collaborative assessment where we'll explore your concerns, history, experiences, and hopes for treatment in depth.
What to Expect: During the evaluation, I'll take time to understand your complete story, including your concerns, the context of your life, relationships, stressors, and strengths. We'll discuss what's been tried before, what's worked, and what hasn't. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication recommendations, therapeutic strategies, lifestyle approaches, or referrals to additional resources.
For children and teens, parents/guardians participate in the full session to provide important developmental and family context. The extended time during the initial evaluation for children and teens allows for this collaboration.
Important Note: The initial evaluation is a one-time assessment fee. A treatment relationship begins only when we mutually agree to move forward together after the evaluation is complete. Ongoing care is billed separately at the follow-up session rates.

Follow Up Sessions
We’ll plan regular check-ins to monitor progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments to our treatment plan as needed. I will explain everything clearly so you (and your family) understand your options and why it will help. Whether adjusting medication, learning new skills, or navigating life changes, you'll have consistent support throughout your mental health journey.

Out-of-Network Insurance:
For patients with other insurance plans, Constellation Psychiatry is considered out-of-network. I provide detailed superbills that can be submitted for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement varies by plan.
I recommend contacting your insurance provider before your first appointment to verify your out-of-network mental health benefits and understand your potential reimbursement.

Why This Approach to Insurance?
By limiting insurance contracts and maintaining a smaller practice, I can offer high quality care and personalized attention to each patient.
