Practice philosophy

I believe in a collaborative, empowering, and positive approach to help you reach your potential and lead a more fulfilling life.

Initial steps

The first step is to contact me for a free 15 minute phone call via email at hello@mckenziepsych.com. This will allows us to get acquainted, discuss your goals, and address any questions you might have.

If appropriate, we will then schedule an initial consultation, which generally requires multiple sessions. During this consultation, I will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your mental health and, if indicated, a diagnostic assessment. Through the process of shared decision making, we will develop a tailored plan that may include psychotherapy, medications, laboratory testing, lifestyle changes, and referrals to other practitioners or resources.

Psychotherapy

In order to provide effective psychotherapy, it is first essential to understand your preferences and needs. My approach uses psychodynamic psychotherapy and targeted forms of cognitive-behavioral therapy as needed, to offer treatment tailored for you.

Medication management

I provide individualized, evidence-based psychiatric prescribing, which includes ongoing evaluations to assess treatment efficacy.

Consultations and second opinions

I perform comprehensive mental health assessments, including history-taking, mental status examinations, and diagnostic evaluations. These assessments are typically conducted during the initial consultation but can also be carried out for other purposes, such as obtaining a second opinion.

Telemedicine appointments

I offer telemedicine appointments via a secure video platform, allowing for convenient and private access to care. I offer appointments in the evenings after 5 pm PT, allowing you to prioritize your mental health without disrupting your daytime schedule.

Fee schedule

I am an in-network provider with PacificSource - Commercial. If you have this insurance, please contact me for more information on covered services and fees.

For other prospective patients, I am an out-of-network provider. I am not able to accept Medicare or Medicaid. My current fee is $300 for one session, which is usually 45 minutes.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider to ask about your specific out-of-network benefits and reimbursement rates.
