Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in mental health support through psychiatric evaluation, therapeutic interventions, and medication management for individuals 18 years old and older. All care is personalized, culturally sensitive, and offered through a whole-person lens.

 Once  your appointment is scheduled, you will receive a reminder message  prior to your appointment that will include a link for you to join the  virtual visit via your computer or phone. 

Make  sure that at the time of the visit you’re in a quiet and confidential space with good  reception or a strong wifi connection to minimize connection issues.

You MUST be  located in Illinois at the time of your visit. 

Currently, all services are offered virtually for your convenience, privacy, and comfort.

During your first visit, you will meet with one of our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner's to discuss your health history, concerns, and goals. If you and the provider determine this is a good fit for your care, they will recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your wellness goals.

All  follow ups are booked for 30 minutes. You and your provider will talk about  your medications, assess your response, side effects, identify barriers to care, process current stressors, and continue to adjust  treatment as needed.

While controlled substances such as stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin, etc.)  and benzodiazepines (Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, etc.) have their place  for use in psychiatry, we believe that in many situations the risks  associated with these medications outweigh their benefits.  Therefore we do not prescribe controlled substances.
