Please review the following policies before reaching out:

 

Appointment Policies: Adult Initial Evaluation sessions are often conducted in-person in Riverdale and followups are generally virtual. However, we are flexible based on your clinical needs and personal preferences. All child Initial Evaluations are conducted in-person.

 

Follow-Up Appointments: Follow-up sessions will primarily be held via telepsychiatry. In-person appointments may be scheduled on a case-by-case basis if necessary.

​

Fees & Cancellation: Please review the fees sections of the FAQ page and understand that credit cards are kept on file for convenient payment at the time of service. The practice maintains a strict 48-hour cancellation policy, whereby patients are charged the full fee if appointments are not canceled with 48 hours of advanced notice.

 

Confidentiality: Your privacy is our priority. All virtual sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms to protect your personal information.

 

Emergency Situations: If you or your loved one needs urgent psychiatric care, is suicidal, and/or are a danger to yourself or others, please call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room immediately. This form is not to be used for urgent matters, and sending a message does not constitute establishing care with me.

 

By contacting us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these policies. We look forward to supporting your mental health journey.
