FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I work with children and adolescents ages 5–21. With children who are already my patients, I am willing to take their mothers under my care as well to explore and address their own brain based medical conditions to provide whole family care to both children and moms.

I offer medication management (both traditional, complementary and alternative) as well as psychotherapy and social skills training.

Please book by filling out the contact form on the next page. I will respond to confirm your requested appointment time and day. Follow up appointments can be scheduled in person during your visit or remotely online.

Please bring any documentation that you would like me to look over, including doctors notes, records, reports. I love learning all about your family and appreciate all the information you can give me.

I appreciate life happens, you’re a mom, I get it.

If you can please let me know at least 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule your appointment I would greatly appreciate it so that I can open up the appointment to another family that needs it.

No shows are charged at $150.

ChildKind doesn’t accept any health insurance. My families usually have out of network benefits, which means my fee is paid out of pocket and the insurance plan reimburses you directly.

Out of network coverage is a part of your insurance plan where your plan has an agreed percentage of the fee to reimburse you for providers that are not contracted within their network.

Before the visit we can check your out of network benefits through Reimbursify to see whether you have met your deductible and are eligible for reimbursement or not. The verification results however do not guarantee reimbursement.

After paying for the visit, I will file your super bill through Reimbursify, on your behalf, in order for you to get some money back!

I take the hassle of you having to file the super bill with your insurance, and get your money processed back to you directly.

In the event of an emergency please dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

The suicide hotline is 988

ChildKind’s phone number and email are not intended for psychiatric emergencies.

If you have had to go to the ER for a psychiatric crisis please reach out to me after the event so that we can discuss how to keep your child safe.
