Currently accepted insurances include; Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, First Choice Health Network, MHN, MODA, Pacific Source Commercial/Medicaid, Trillium Medicaid, Medicare and Providence.  As insurance acceptance can change, it is best to contact the office if you have questions about your specific insurance.

I also accept cash pay clients.  Initial Evaluation $500; Medication Management Follow up $300.  Cash pay clients who prepay for their session anytime before the session start are offered a prepay discount of Initial Evaluation $350, Medication Management Follow up $150.

Clients who cash pay can be provided with an invoice (superbill) to provide to their insurance for possible reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to determine what, if any, reimbursement you will receive.

I treat most psychiatric disorders including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and behavioral disturbances. 

Please note:  Controlled substances are prescribed on a limited basis.  Potential adult clients with an existing ADHD diagnosis will need to provide a copy of a neuropsychological assessment validating this diagnosis.  Parents of minor child clients will need to provide either a copy of a neuropsychological assessment, or an assessment completed by a school psychologist validating this diagnosis prior to any stimulant start or continuation.  I do not prescribe benzodiazepines or hypnotic medications.  Examples of these would be: Xanax, Clonazepam, Ambien.

If you have any doubt if your disorder would be treated, a certain medication prescribed, or need a list of neuropsychologists, please contact the office via secure encrypted email at admin@cedarpsych.hush.com.

I am committed to maintaining the physical, as well as the mental health, of my clients.  For in person appointments I employ longer appt times, and scheduled breaks between clients, so as to thoroughly clean offices between client appointments.  I also offer masks and social distancing and encourage clients who are feeling unwell, or have been in contact with someone who is unwell to reschedule their appointment or consider changing to a telehealth appointment.

Please send communications to either the secure encrypted email address or fax number located on our home page.  Due to staffing issues, phone calls are not returned. All communication must be by email or fax.

Also, at this time I do not accept direct referrals from agencies.  And do not maintain a wait list. Please encourage your clients to keep checking the New Clients tab on this website as this is the first place I will announce any availability.
