The Concierge Difference

What is Concierge Psychiatry?

Concierge psychiatry is a personalized care model that puts you at the center of your mental health care. It prioritizes giving you the time, attention, and flexibility you need to feel supported. Instead of dealing with insurance constraints, long wait times, and rushed sessions, concierge psychiatry allows you to work closely with a psychiatrist who has the time and resources to focus on your unique needs. 

Services Tailored Just for You

Whether you’re looking for medication management, therapy, or a combination, concierge psychiatry is all about giving you what works best for your situation. Here’s what concierge psychiatry offers:

• Medication Management: If you or your child are prescribed medication for mental health concerns, your doctor is there to help make sure the right medication is working for you—adjusting the dosage as needed and checking in regularly with easy, direct access via phone or secure messaging.

• Therapy: Whether it’s for managing stress, anxiety, depression, or other challenges, therapy is a key part patient centered care. Access evidence-based strategies that help you get to the root of the issue and build skills to cope in a healthier way.

• A Combination of Both: For many people, a mix of medication and therapy is the most effective approach. Your doctor will help you decide what works best for your family’s needs.

The Concierge Perks

Clear Pricing, No Surprises

Mental health care can be confusing and expensive, especially when insurance gets involved. With concierge psychiatry, there’s no hidden billing, surprise costs, or complicated insurance claims. You’ll pay a simple, hourly rate in and out of session care, and you’ll always know exactly what you’re getting. 

No More Waiting Around

One of the biggest frustrations with the traditional care model is the long wait for an appointment. With concierge psychiatry, get same-day or next-day appointments for urgent matters, so you don’t have to wait for weeks to get the support you need. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or your child is going through a rough patch, you can get help right away.

Direct Access to Your Psychiatrist

No more dealing with complicated phone trees, long hold times, or lost emails. With concierge psychiatry, if you need to ask a question, request a prescription refill, or need advice between sessions, help is just a message or call away. This level of access makes care feel more responsive and personal.

No Rushed Appointments

Spending time getting to know the patient is an imperative part of mental health care. With concierge psychiatry appointment times can be tailored to the patient's needs, not limited to unpredictable insurance rules. Usually this looks like at minimum 30 minute appointment (for medication checks) and 60 minutes (for therapy +/- medication) with the option for longer visits if needed. Whether you’re juggling work, school, or family life, your appointments will be thorough and helpful, without feeling rushed.

Collaboration with Your Treatment Team

Mental health is a team effort. If you’re working with a therapist, school counselor, or a primary care physician, your psychiatrist will work directly with them by offering one on one meetings or calls ensuring that everyone is on the same page about your care. This teamwork allows for more comprehensive care and ensures that all aspects of your mental health are taken into account.

Building Trust, One Appointment at a Time

The key to great mental health care is trust, and that’s something concierge psychiatry excels at. With a smaller caseload and more time to spend with each patient, your doctor can build a genuine relationship with you. That means better care and a stronger connection, which can lead to better treatment outcomes.

You Are the Focus, Always

With concierge psychitry, it’s all about you and your unique needs. Your doctor takes the time to get to know you, understand your goals, and create a treatment plan that works for your life. A patient-centered approach ensures that every decision is collaborative and puts your well-being first.

Concierge Psychiatry vs. Insurance-Based Care: Why It’s a Better Fit

While insurance-based mental health care may seem like the easy option, it often comes with a lot of downsides:

• Long Wait Times & Short Appointments: In the insurance model, psychiatrists need to see more patients to meet quotas, which means appointments are rushed and wait times are long. With concierge psychiatry, you get the time and attention you deserve, without the stress of waiting for weeks.

• Lack of Flexibility: Insurance companies often dictate how many sessions you can stay in treatment and what services are covered. With concierge care, the decision is up to you and your psychiatrist, not an insurance company. This means better, more personalized care.

• Quality Care, Not Quantity: Insurance-driven care focuses on seeing more patients and this can result in lower-quality care. With concierge psychiatry, we prioritize quality over quantity, which leads to better results for you.
