New Patients

If you are considering becoming a patient, welcome. Here’s what to expect as we begin:

Our first session

• We’ll talk about what brings you here, what you hope for, and any concerns you may have.
• We’ll take care of your basic needs:e ensure necessary medications are prescribed or refilled, and take the appropriate next steps for your particular situation including determining next steps for treatment or scheduling future consultations with the correct specialists, if appropriate.
• Having done that, we’ll decide together whether ongoing work feels like a good fit.

Logistics

• Location: In person at my office in Squirrel Hill at 1655 Shady Ave or virtually for patients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
• Length: 45 minutes.

Insurance

For patients wanting to use their insurance, I accept UPMC, Highmark/Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, among others. To check whether we accept your insurance, email admin@cibolapsych.com.

Fees

The charge for an appointment is $250 with a sliding scale. If we are using your insurance, you will be responsible for the copay or percentage not covered by your insurance.
