Why Choose Eastern Psychiatric?

The answer is simple: personalized, expert care. At Eastern Psychiatric, you will receive compassionate treatment from highly experienced, board-certified/eligible psychiatrists and clinicians. With few exceptions, new patients can be seen within days to weeks. Our collaborative, multidisciplinary model ensures that you will have access not only to your primary clinician, but also to a team of specialists working together to support your well-being.

What is the experience level of your clinicians?

Every clinician at Eastern Psychiatric is fully licensed and/or board certified/eligible in their field. We do not use interns or trainees. Most of our clinicians have over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families.

How does Eastern Psychiatric treat such a wide range of concerns?

We don’t believe in one person claiming expertise in everything. Instead, our clinicians focus on areas where they have deep experience. By working as a cooperative team, each clinician provides high-quality care in their area of specialization, while collaborating with colleagues when broader care is needed.

Can I schedule just a consultation to see if therapy might help?

Absolutely. We encourage new patients to schedule a one-time consultation. This allows you to meet with a clinician, discuss your goals, and determine if Eastern Psychiatric is the right fit for you. Patients are welcome to “shop” for the clinician who feels like the best match.

How do I make an appointment?

Each clinician manages their own schedule. If you have a referral, you may call the clinician directly. If not, our intake team will guide you to the right provider for your needs.

What should I do before my first appointment?

All new patients complete intake forms from Simple Practice prior to their first session. These forms are sent directly to you when you schedule.

Who will I see?

You will begin with one clinician. If it becomes clear that you or your family could benefit from additional services, your clinician will discuss this with you and coordinate care with our other providers. You will always remain in control of who is involved in your treatment.

Will my clinicians coordinate with one another?

Yes. One of the strengths of our model is open communication between professionals. When multiple clinicians are involved, they coordinate your care so you don’t feel like you’re starting over at each appointment. At the same time, if you prefer certain aspects of your care to remain private with one clinician, that confidentiality will be respected.

What is your cancellation policy?

We require 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Because each session is reserved specifically for you, missed appointments without notice are billed in full, except in the case of illness for you or a dependent.

Payment & Insurance

Do you take insurance?

Eastern Psychiatric is an out-of-network provider. We do not participate in insurance panels. However, we provide detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement based on your plan’s out-of-network benefits.

Do you take Medicare or Medicaid?

We are not Medicare or Medicaid providers.

Why choose Eastern Psychiatric if I could see an in-network clinician?

Two words: service and access. In-network clinicians often have waitlists. At Eastern Psychiatric, you can usually be seen within days to weeks. Our team-based, multidisciplinary approach also offers resources beyond what a single clinician in network can provide. Patients often find that the personal attention, expertise, and availability at Eastern Psychiatric make their care worth the investment.

How is payment handled?

Payment is due at the time of each session. We accept credit cards, checks, and cash. Receipts will contain all the information you need for out-of-network reimbursement.

Rates?

Please contact your clinician for their specific rates. Please note Centra is an out of network provider to all insurance carriers. Contact your health insurance provider to learn about your out of network benefits.
