Individualized Psychiatric Care

I provide evidence-based psychiatric care designed to support mental health and overall well-being, with treatment tailored to each client's unique needs.

Psychiatric Evaluation

60-minute initial intake

A comprehensive evaluation to understand your mental health history, current concerns, and goals. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of approaches.

Medication Management

30-minute follow-up sessions

Ongoing sessions focused on monitoring your response to medication, making adjustments when necessary, and supporting your progress. Each session also provides space to discuss emotional well-being and ensure care stays aligned with your goals.

Psychotherapy

Individual talk therapy

Through supportive, evidence-based talk therapy, we work together to explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding you back. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may draw on cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, or other therapeutic approaches to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting change.

Receive the same quality psychiatric care from the comfort of your home. Telehealth appointments are available for both evaluations and follow-up sessions, making it easier to fit care into your schedule.

What to Expect

Answers to common questions about starting care with me.

Your first visit is a 60-minute comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. I'll take the time to learn about your history, current concerns, and goals. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan. There's no pressure โ€” this is a safe space for open conversation.

I currently accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Oscar, Oxford, Providence Health Plan, and United Healthcare. Visit the Patient Access portal or contact the office to verify your specific coverage or health plan before your first appointment.

Yes! Telehealth appointments are available for both initial evaluations and follow-up sessions. You can receive the same quality care from the comfort of your home via a secure video platform.

I offer private pay rates for clients who prefer not to use insurance or whose plan isn't accepted. I can also provide a superbill โ€” an itemized receipt you can submit to your out-of-network insurer for potential reimbursement. Many plans cover a portion of out-of-network mental health services, so it's worth checking with your provider. Please contact the office to discuss rates and options.

I provide psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults. My experience spans all age groups, allowing me to provide developmentally appropriate care at every stage of life.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) hold advanced degrees and are board-certified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide psychotherapy โ€” similar to psychiatrists. Rebbecca's nursing background also emphasizes a holistic, patient-centered approach to care.
