1. Book Your Appointment
Choose a convenient time online or call us. You’ll select either telehealth (available in California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado) or an in-person visit at our Irvine office.
2. Complete Intake Forms
You’ll receive secure online forms before your visit. These cover your medical history, current symptoms, medications, and goals. Completing them ahead of time helps us make the most of your appointment.
3. Insurance or Private-Pay Check
We verify benefits when possible and provide clear cost information. Private-pay patients receive a Good Faith Estimate before the first visit—no surprises.
4. Meet Your Provider
Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation (typically 45–60 minutes). You’ll meet one of our dual board-certified Psychiatric & Family Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP-BC, FNP-C). We take time to understand not just your symptoms, but the full picture—sleep, stress, hormones, lifestyle, and more.
5. Leave with a Clear Plan
You’ll receive personalized recommendations that may include medication management, lifestyle strategies, lab work if needed, and follow-up scheduling. You’ll know the next steps before the session ends.
Most initial evaluations last 45–60 minutes so we can thoroughly understand your needs.
If medication is clinically appropriate, we may start or adjust treatment during the first appointment. Every decision is made collaboratively with you.
No referral is required. You can book directly.
A list of current medications, any recent lab results, and notes about your main concerns or goals are helpful but not required.
The clinical process is the same. Telehealth uses a secure video platform; in-person visits take place at our Irvine office (Ethera).
Most new patients are able to book within a few days.
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments based on your treatment plan. Many patients begin with closer monitoring and then space visits further apart as they stabilize.
