Seeking mental health services is crucial for addressing emotional, cognitive, and behavioral challenges that may impede one's quality of life. At Integrated Psychiatric Services, we believe in proactively addressing these issues, aiding individuals in understanding their emotions, building resilience, and leading a more balanced life. Early intervention can make a significant difference, fostering overall well-being and personal growth.

Please confirm your insurance coverage with our office staff before scheduling an appointment. We do not provide free services. Telehealth appointments are still medical appointments and will be treated as such (including paying balances upon services rendered).

We offer assistance to individuals on a case-by-case basis. Payment plans, a sliding fee scale, and assistance with specialty medication discounts are available.

We take a variety of insurances in MA and NH, as well as private pay (Cash, debit, and all major credit cards). Your balance is due at your scheduled appointment (if the balance is not paid in full, the appointment will be rescheduled). For more information, please call our office at 508-478-6868.

Initial psychiatric evaluation appointments are one hour long. Most follow-up sessions are thirty minutes long, but they may be scheduled for longer to best serve the needs of the individual patient.

A review of your psychiatric history, presenting symptoms, current medications, and lifestyle will be discussed during the initial psychiatric evaluation. The provider will gather the required documentation to adequately assess, diagnose, and treat the patient.

The patient will be given treatment recommendations and discuss potential side effects, efficacy, and duration of treatment. The provider will develop a treatment plan that best suits the needs of the patient. The patient has the right to refuse treatment or inquire about alternative treatment options. If it is outside the scope of my practice, I will provide referrals to a provider that can better serve your needs.

A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is a certified advanced practice nurse who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental illness and psychological problems. I do not provide primary therapy services.

In this setting, my primary role would be to recommend, prescribe, and manage medications when appropriate and review the risks, benefits, and alternatives to medications. When appropriate, I would order and review labs. We primarily provide medication management, and occasionally, supportive therapy. Oftentimes, patients would also work with a therapist for therapy sessions. We have relationships with several area therapists and can provide referrals to established patients. 

Some conditions are best treated in a different specialty setting to achieve optimal results. These include, but may not be limited to, severe eating disorders, seizure disorders, dementia, disability evaluations, service animal evaluations, disorders requiring the initiation of medications during pregnancy or breastfeeding, hormone replacement, primary care, and weight management. 

If you find yourself in an emergency, please immediately call 911 and go to your nearest Emergency Department during off-hours. If you have an urgent situation and/or concern, please call the office or use the patient portal during office hours, and the provider will be in contact at their earliest convenience. There are NO on-call providers or appointments after hours.
