We are a growing team of psychiatric mental health providers and psychologists. While psychiatrists, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, and prescribing psychologists are trained in various therapy modalities, they also specialize in diagnosing and treating psychiatric conditions using prescription medications. Our sessions include brief therapy, though many find that combining our psychiatric care with regular sessions with their counselor, therapist, or psychologist is most effective. We collaborate closely with your preferred therapy providers to ensure coordinated care.

Our psychiatric evaluations focus on assessing the need for medication treatment. These sessions last up to one hour and involve discussing your mood, personal history, medical conditions, and family background to collaboratively determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Neuropsychological testing is a comprehensive evaluation (up to 8 hours) of cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, problem-solving, language, and executive functioning, to assess how well the brain is working. It is typically conducted by a neuropsychologist in person, and involves a series of standardized tests and tasks. This type of assessment helps diagnose a range of conditions, including brain injuries, dementia, learning disabilities, ADHD, and other neurological or psychiatric disorders. The results are used to guide and create treatment plans, educational strategies, and other forms of support tailored to the individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses.

Yes, medications will be sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy. You will receive refills so you do not run out between visits.

We believe in treating ADHD with evidence-based treatment, which includes stimulant and non-stimulant medications.

Due to telemedicine rules, this practice cannot prescribe stimulants to anyone prescribed benzodiazepines, buprenorphine, or narcotic pain medications. Additionally, our practice has the following safety procedures:

• If you are changing providers, your new prescription medication will be fillable 30 days after the State’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program shows the last controlled medication was filled.
• We do not authorize early refills of controlled medications
• A urine drug screen is part of the evaluation and ongoing treatment.
• Monthly telehealth visits are needed for continuation/refills of controlled medications.
• We do not prescribe above the FDA-indicated doses.
• We require monthly heart monitoring, including blood pressure, and may include obtaining an EKG before initial prescription and at least annually.

Yes! Currently, we partner with Quest Diagnostics. Your psychiatric provider may order these labs directly, or refer you to your PCP to obtain lab work.

Although not very affirming, Four Seasons Psychiatry may use ICD-10 code F64 "gender dysphoria" for gender affirming care, in efforts to get your bills and medications covered by your insurance. If folx are strongly opposed to this, no problem, we can talk about it and change this terminology.
