Dr. Arshia Alec Shirzadi
Board Certified Psychiatrist

Services Provided

My approach is to first make an accurate diagnosis by gathering information about your symptoms and understanding them in your life context. I will then base treatment according to current treatment guidelines and adapt it to your unique and individual needs. Psychiatric treatment may involve use of medication, talk therapy or combination of both. In certain situations, combination therapy may be more effective than medication therapy or talk therapy alone. This approach does not apply to every person at a given time, so I will thoroughly discuss all options with you, including what specific types of medication therapy or talk therapy I think will be more appropriate for your individual needs.


SESSION FEES AND CHARGES

Initial Evaluation 45-55 Minutes:   $225.00

Follow up visit 20- minutes: Medication management only:  $110.00

Follow up visit 50- minutes: Psychotherapy and/or medication management:  $200.00


All fees are due and are to be paid in full at the time of your appointment.
Payments maybe made in form of check, cash, or cashier’s check.

 

CANCELLATIONS AND NO SHOW POLICIES
There is a charge for appointments missed, rescheduled, or canceled less than twenty four (24) business hours in advance. This charge is equal to the fee of the scheduled appointment, including the initial consultation. Your insurance provider will not cover cost of no shows, cancellations or missed appointments; therefore, you will be directly responsible for those charges.


INSURANCE AND REIMBURSEMENT

I am not a provider for any managed care plans and do not participate in any HMO or PPO plans. You will be responsible for the full session fees at the time of your visit. I will provide you with a receipt of your payment known as the "superbill" which you can submit directly to your insurance company. Depending on your health insurance provider and your coverage, you may be reimbursed fully, partially or not at all by your provider. Since you will be responsible for the full session fees I strongly urge you to call your insurance provider in advance and inquire about possible reimbursement.
