Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about prescribing psychology and integrated care
What is a prescribing psychologist?
A licensed psychologist who has completed postdoctoral training in clinical psychopharmacology and obtained prescribing authority through board certification. Unlike psychiatrists (medical doctors), psychologists receive extensive training in psychology, behavior, and assessment. Prescribing psychologists combine psychological expertise with medication management skills.
How is integrated care different from seeing separate providers?
With integrated care, you work with one clinician who understands both psychology and pharmacology. This eliminates fragmentation, improves coordination, reduces appointments, and ensures consistent treatment. One person holds your complete mental health picture.
What medications can prescribing psychologists prescribe?
Prescribing psychologists can prescribe the full range of psychiatric medications including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and ADHD medications—equivalent to psychiatrist prescribing authority.
How long is the initial appointment?
The comprehensive initial evaluation typically takes 90 minutes. This allows adequate time for detailed history, mental status examination, medical review, treatment discussion, and development of a collaborative treatment plan.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we work with most major insurance plans. We verify coverage before your appointment and provide cost estimates. We also offer flexible payment options for self-pay patients.
