Our self-pay rates are $300 for an initial intake evaluation and $150 for follow-up appointments.

We see adolescents (ages 13 and up) and adults. For patients under 18, a parent or legal guardian schedules the appointment and completes consent forms before the first visit, and teens have private time with their provider as part of care.

Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, sleep issues, eating disorders, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. See our Services page for the full list.

That depends on which option fits you. New patients using insurance can check their benefits and estimated cost through Headway, then book their first appointment directly with our practice. Returning patients book directly with us. Self-pay patients book directly with our practice ($300 initial consultation, $150 follow-up). You will find all three options on our Book an Appointment page, or call or text (949) 594-4795 with any questions.

This site is not for emergencies. Call 911, go to your nearest ER, or contact 988 (call or text) for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Usually, yes — the first visit typically begins with the parent/guardian and teen together, and the provider also meets with the teen privately. Parents stay closely involved in the diagnosis, treatment plan, medications, and anything involving safety.

Teens speak more honestly with some privacy, so the details of their private conversations are generally kept confidential. Parents are always included in diagnosis, treatment planning, medication decisions, and anything involving safety. Confidentiality also has legal limits — such as risk of serious harm or suspected abuse — which we review with both parent and teen at the first visit.
