If you are currently insured with a different carrier we will provide you with a 'Superbill' which you are welcome to submit to your insurance company for consideration for out of network reimbursement.  Once approved they would send the reimbursement directly to you.

Do you offer therapy?

The providers at Common Ground Psychiatry are board certified in mental health and often incorporate therapy into each medication management session.  However, we strongly agree with evidence based research that shows that the BEST results come from engaging in targeted therapy for your individual situation.  If following your session we feel you would benefit from a referral we have wonderful relationships with therapy offices to help accelerate getting you the results you deserve.

I am booking a session for my teen.  How do I navigate mental health care for my child?

Upon booking you and your child will be sent separate questionnaires so that your provider can understand the teen's point of view and that of each parent/guardian. We ask that at least one adult be present for the session in order to discuss  concerns and review the proposed treatment plan at the end. We have experience partnering with co-parents, Pediatricians, and Child/Adolescent Therapists. Our goal is to advocate on behalf of your child for their improved mental wellbeing and success in life.

How do I communicate with my provider directly?

When you book an appointment you will receive a text message from SPRUCE HEALTH.  This is our HIPAA secure messaging which allows you to communicate directly and securely with your provider.  You can download the Spruce health app to your phone and quickly request refills, ask questions about the plan, or request follow up appointments.
