## What makes this practice distinct

- A thorough two-clinician evaluation (therapist hour + psychiatrist hour), typically complete within about 10 days — most competitors do not illustrate or offer this.
- Deep psychopharmacology expertise for difficult-to-treat cases; the approach to "treatment-resistant" depression is to confirm the diagnosis and optimize the medication plan before turning to procedures like ketamine, Spravato, or TMS.
- One named psychiatrist for children and adults over decades — continuity, not rotating clinicians.
- Honest, out-of-network care with fees discussed openly by phone before any appointment is scheduled.
