Will medication help with my anxiety?

Medication is often prescribed for anxiety due to the fact that it works quickly to ease symptoms of distress or panic attacks in some cases. However, this should always be discussed with your doctor so they can provide guidance on what's right for you and the type of medication best suited for your needs.

Is it better to see a psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist?

Finding the right fit depends on what you need. A psychiatrist or nurse practitioner can prescribe medication and manage more complex mental health conditions. A psychologist specializes in in-depth testing and evaluations—think autism assessments or diagnostic clarity. A therapist focuses on counseling (talk-therapy) and helping you develop tools to manage emotions and behaviors. Many clients find that combining one or more of these professionals is the best recipe for growth and healing.

Can I go to a psychiatrist for anxiety?

What is my copay for psychiatry (medication mgmt.)?

A copay, or copayment, is a fixed amount that you, as the client, are required to pay for each medication mgmt. session when we bill your insurance. The exact amount varies based on your specific health insurance plan.

A psychiatry session will usually have the same copay as a PCP (Primary Care Physician) visit and/or an Office Visit.  If you have a copay plan, you'll sometimes see your copay listed on your insurance card.
