Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who do you see?
We provide psychiatric care for adolescents and adults. If you're seeking care for a child or aren't sure whether we're the right fit, give us a call — if we can't help, we'll do our best to point you in the right direction.
How do telehealth visits work?
All visits happen over secure video from wherever you are in Washington State — home, work, or anywhere private. You'll receive a link before each appointment; all you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your first visit is a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation — an in-depth conversation about your symptoms, history, physical health, and goals. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's going on and a realistic treatment plan you helped shape.
What is integrative and functional psychiatry?
A personalized, root-cause approach that considers how physical health, sleep, hormones, nutrition, inflammation, and stress can worsen or mimic psychiatric symptoms. Care may combine medication, psychotherapy, targeted supplements, adaptogens, nootropics, and evidence-based non-medication treatments when appropriate.
What is metabolic psychiatry?
An emerging field connecting mental health to metabolism — how the brain produces and uses energy. Research by pioneers like Dr. Christopher Palmer (Harvard) suggests metabolic dysfunction can drive or worsen psychiatric symptoms. In practice, this means we assess metabolic health (blood sugar, insulin resistance, inflammation, sleep) and may recommend nutrition strategies, movement, and behavioral changes alongside standard treatment — always evidence-informed, never instead of proven care.
Do you offer genetic testing?
Yes. When medications haven't worked well or you want a smarter starting point, we offer pharmacogenomic (genetic) testing that shows how your body metabolizes psychiatric medications — helping guide choices that are more likely to work with fewer side effects. Functional lab work (thyroid, vitamins, hormones, inflammation markers) is also available when clinically indicated.
Do I have to take medication?
No. Medication is one tool among many, and the decision is always made together. Some patients benefit from medication, others from therapy, lifestyle changes, or targeted supplements — most often, a thoughtful combination works best.
Do you offer Christian or faith-based care?
Yes — for patients who want it. As part of whole-person care, we're glad to integrate your faith into treatment, including Christian care: prayer, scripture-informed perspectives, and goals that honor your values. It's entirely optional and patient-led — we ask about your preferences at intake and never assume. Patients of every faith and of no faith receive the same warm, evidence-based care.
Can you work with my existing therapist?
Absolutely. With your permission, we're glad to coordinate with your therapist, primary care provider, or other members of your care team so everyone is working from the same plan.
What if I don't have insurance on your list?
Out-of-pocket visits are available — call us for current rates. We can also provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
I'm finishing a PHP or IOP program. Can I continue care with you?
Yes — we regularly welcome patients stepping down from partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient programs who want to keep building momentum with whole-person outpatient psychiatric care.
