Lisa Salstein MD Psychiatry, Therapy

Free Phone Consultation: Prior to any longer session, you may schedule a free phone session. This will last for approximately 10-15 minutes. We will discuss what your needs and goals are, what I can provide, scheduling, and fees. This will allow me to make sure I am the right person to offer you the help you need as well as giving you the opportunity to ask me questions and see if I seem like the right fit for you.

First Session/Consultation: I will send you a link over Zoom. This session will last for 60 minutes. I will listen to what brings you to therapy/medication treatment. I will also be asking you a lot of questions about yourself in order to fully understand your situation, goals and what you are struggling with. I will then make treatment recommendations. This may include therapy only, medication, or a mix. Together, we will decide on a plan.

Therapy and Medication Appointments: I provide therapy either over the phone or Zoom. You may find the screen distracting and if so we may want to work without it. If this is the case, we will say hello over the screen, then turn off the camera for the session. Sometimes turning the camera off will allow you and me to speak more freely and honestly. At the end of the session, we can turn it on again to say goodbye. Or, we can speak over the phone.

SERVICES

In order to provide the best care possible, I do not accept insurance as it limits the frequency/type of care I can provide. I will provide an invoice that you can submit to your insurance company so that you can be reimbursed for any out of network benefits you have.

I have a certain number of hours saved to see people for reduced fees on a case by case basis. Please schedule an initial phone consultation to speak about this further.
