Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a referral to a therapist or other provider?▾
Your psychiatrist will discuss whether additional services are needed (psychotherapy, substance use treatment, medical specialists) and provide referral recommendations or facilitate a warm handoff with network providers.
Will my therapy provider have access to my psychiatric assessment?▾
Yes, with your written consent, your therapist receives the psychiatric assessment summary and visit notes, allowing them to align their treatment approach with psychiatric care.
How often do my providers communicate about my care?▾
Communication frequency depends on your clinical needs. Newly diagnosed or unstable patients receive more frequent team updates; stable patients typically have quarterly or as-needed coordination.
What if my psychiatrist thinks I need a specialist I don't know?▾
Your psychiatrist will explain why they're recommending the specialist, what services they provide, and help facilitate a warm introduction or referral to ensure continuity and reduce barriers.
