Accepting new patients

Care that starts with being heard.

Psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults, children, and teens — in person at our Peoria office or by secure video. Unhurried appointments, plain language, and a plan you actually understand.

Two hours. One plan.

New patient evaluations are scheduled long enough to leave with answers — not another wait.

What we treat

Psychiatric care for every stage of a life

Two kinds of appointments, one standard of care: enough time to get it right, and someone who explains the reasoning behind every recommendation.

For adults

Psychiatric evaluation

A first appointment long enough to understand the whole picture — history, symptoms, physical health, sleep, relationships, and what you want to be different.

Medication management

Careful prescribing and regular check-ins, using the smallest effective dose and an honest conversation about side effects and what's actually working.

Anxiety & depression

Panic, constant worry, low mood, and the exhaustion of holding it together. Treatment planned around your life, not a symptom checklist.

ADHD evaluation & treatment

A clear diagnostic process for adults, including childhood history and, when it helps, input from people who know you well.

Bipolar & mood disorders

Stabilizing care for cycling moods, irritability, and depression that hasn't responded to a first attempt at treatment.

Trauma, sleep & stress

PTSD, burnout, insomnia, and grief — treated with medication where it helps, and referred to therapy when that's the better path.

For children & teens

Child & teen evaluation

Time with your child and with you, so we understand behavior, school, and family life together — not only what shows up on a report card.

ADHD & school struggles

Diagnosis and treatment for focus, impulsivity, and the stress that follows, with coordination to school when you ask for it.

Autism support

Evaluation and ongoing care for autism and related social, sensory, and communication differences — with parents involved and a plan that fits home, school, and daily life.

Medication for young people

Conservative, closely monitored prescribing for children and teens, explained clearly to the whole family.

Not sure which kind of appointment you need? Describe what's going on in a sentence or two and we'll point you the right way.

Ask us

What to expect

Four steps, no guessing

Psychiatric care has a reputation for feeling rushed. We built the schedule around the opposite.

Appointments are held Wednesdays and Fridays by video, and Saturdays in the office or by video. Tell us what works for you and we'll find a time.

  1. 01

    You reach out

    Send the short form below, or call if that's easier. A real person on our team reads it and replies within one business day.

  2. 02

    A first appointment with room to talk

    Your first visit is a full evaluation — your history, health, sleep, stressors, and what you want to be different. Nothing is decided before we understand it.

  3. 03

    A plan in plain language

    You leave knowing what we think is going on, what we recommend, what the medication does, and what the alternatives are. You decide, with us.

  4. 04

    Follow-up that keeps working

    Regular check-ins to adjust dose, watch for side effects, and stay in touch with your therapist or primary care doctor, with your permission.

A note on privacy

What you share with us is protected health information. We don't discuss your care with family, schools, or other doctors without your written permission — except where the law requires us to keep you safe.

Where we meet

Choose the setting that fits the day

Both options are real appointments with the same clinician. You can switch between them as life changes.

  • Works well for follow-ups, medication changes, and many first visits
  • Prescriptions sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose
  • You'll need a quiet room, a steady connection, and to be located in the state where your clinician is licensed

In-office visits

A calm room, and someone to sit with

  • Private, comfortable rooms with natural light
  • Helpful for first evaluations, for children and teens, and if video isn't for you
  • Parking and accessibility details included in your appointment confirmation
  • Address and directions shared when your visit is confirmed

Fees & questions

Clear costs, honest answers

The two things people ask us most before booking: what will this cost, and what is it actually like. Here's both.

Using insurance

We work with many major plans. If you'd like to use insurance, tell us your plan in the form and we'll check your benefits before your first visit — including your copay and whether you need a referral.

Paying directly

Self-pay rates are available for people who prefer not to use insurance, and for services your plan doesn't cover. Ask us for current pricing and we'll put it in writing.

No surprises

You'll know the cost of an appointment before it's scheduled. You can also request a Good Faith Estimate at any time, as required under the No Surprises Act.

Questions people ask first

If yours isn't here, ask it in the form below — we answer real questions, not boilerplate.

Get started

Tell us a little, and we'll take it from there

No long intake packet before you've even spoken to anyone. Send a short request and a real person will get back to you.
