We're in-network with major insurers, including:

Even if your insurer isn't on the list, we might still accept it as we are in-network with most plans in Miami-Dade County. Fill out our contact form to see if we take your plan.

The best way to get a detailed estimate of your cost is to contact your insurance company directly, since your cost will depend on the details of your coverage. For some, it’s just a copay. If you have an unmet deductible, it could be more. Call the number on your insurance card and ask about your plan’s coverage for outpatient psychiatric services.

For most patients, Telehealth treatment is just as effective as in-person psychiatric treatment (American Psychiatric Association, 2021), and much more convenient. At ARC, you can also blend both modalities and choose when you want to see your psychiatric provider in-person or via telehealth.

Psychiatric care is offered by medical providers who have specialized training in diagnosing and treating complex mental health conditions through medication management. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or similar, a psychiatrist may be a good place to start.

Other signs that you should see a psychiatrist include:
-Your primary care doctor or another doctor thinks you may benefit from the services of a psychiatrist and provides a referra
l-You are interested in taking medication to treat a mental health condition
-Your symptoms are severe enough to regularly interfere with your everyday life

Psychotherapy is provided by a range of professionals including social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychoanalysts. Working with a therapist generally involves regular talk therapy sessions where you discuss your feelings, problem-solving strategies, and coping mechanisms to help with your condition.

Our psychiatry provider can prescribe any medications they believe are appropriate for your care. Psychiatric services are offered both in-person and via telemedicine. In-person visits have no limitations on the type of medications prescribed to you. However, your psychiatric provider may require that you be seen at least one time in-person per year, based on the type of controlled medication.

The most common controlled substances used in psychiatry are benzodiazepines (like Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, or Valium) and stimulants (like Adderall or Ritalin). 

In order to be prescribed any of these by a psychiatrist, they have to believe these medications are appropriate for you after they provide an initial evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan. 

If you’re currently taking a controlled substance, there’s no guarantee your clinician will agree with your past doctors on your condition or on the treatment plan you’re currently on. As medical practitioners, our doctors must provide their own examinations to determine what they recommend for you.
