The wait for a psychiatrist in LA can run for months.

You don't have months. Anxiety doesn't pause. ADHD doesn't wait for your appointment. Depression gets worse the longer you sit on a waitlist.

We see new patients this week — usually within 3-7 days. No insurance gymnastics. No "we'll call you back."

Common questions

How fast can I get an appointment?

New patient psychiatry visits are typically available within 3-7 days. For urgent situations, often same-week. Telehealth slots open up most days.

Can you prescribe stimulants for ADHD?

Yes. After a proper evaluation, we prescribe both stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications when clinically appropriate. California law requires in-person visits for controlled substances at appropriate intervals.

What's the most affordable way to do ongoing psychiatry?

For most people it's BetterCare Complete at $149/mo — unlimited psychiatry visits and medication management included, plus primary care. Cash psychiatry visits in LA typically run $250–400 each, so if you're coming monthly, the membership pays for itself fast.

Will my insurance cover this?

We accept all PPO plans and Medicare for psychiatry, plus select HMO plans. We verify your specific benefits before your visit so you know what to expect.

What if I'm already on medication?

Bring your current prescription bottles or a list. Many patients come to us for med adjustments, second opinions, or to consolidate care under one provider.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes — all of California. Many follow-ups happen via secure video. Initial visits often in-person but can be virtual depending on the situation.

Is this LGBTQIA+ affirming?

Absolutely. Affirming care is foundational to how we practice. No translation work, no awkward explanations.

Stop waiting. Start feeling better.
