New Patient Information

It takes courage and initiative to reach out for psychiatric help. We strive to make the intake process as smooth as possible for our new patients.

In order to best understand your needs, we require all new patients to go through an assessment before they can begin making regular appointments for therapy or medication management.

See the information below to view our initial assessment options, accepted insurances, & pre-appointment paperwork.

Intake Assessment Process

All new patients are required to receive an initial assessment before scheduling regular appointments with our providers. The assessment is two parts. You will see a clinician for a psychosocial evaluation and a medical provider for a medical evaluation.

After this assessment, we can give our recommendations for your care plan.

1

Psychosocial Evaluation

The psychosocial evaluation is used to obtain patient background information to determine a possible diagnosis and tailor a treatment plan.

This assessment will be done by a therapy provider.

2

Medical Evaluation

The medical evaluation is used to gather appropriate medical information to support in making a diagnosis as well as determining if pursuing medication management is right for the patient.

Accepted Insurances

Professional Psychiatric Services is in-network with most major insurance providers and we can often work with other insurers on an out-of-network basis. We also have self-pay options for those without insurance.

Please call your insurance provider to verify your behavioral/mental health coverage & to ensure PPS is a covered provider.
