The physicians are on many of the major insurance plans. However, you will need to contact your carrier to verify if our doctors are in your insurance network and if you have mental health benefits. We will file your insurance for you if we are a participating provider of your plan.

All co-payments for patients with insurance and payments for services for patients without health insurance or mental health benefits are due at the time of service.  As a courtesy to you, we will call your insurance company to obtain your mental health benefits and prior authorization if needed. This does not guarantee payment from your insurance company.

Please remember to bring your insurance card and identification with you when you come for your appointment with one of our doctors.

Our practice focuses on disease prevention, the treatment of illness via behavior modification, the promotion and maintenance of health, and identification of the various psychosocial factors that contribute to illness and/or disease.

A department under the umbrella of WellStar’s Behavioral Health services, WellStar Psychological Services is comprised of doctoral-level, licensed clinical psychologists with Behavioral Medicine specializations in areas such as weight management, pain management, rehabilitation psychology, neuropsychology, etc.  The aim of WellStar Psychological Services is to provide evaluation, consultation, behavior modification, and psychotherapy services to better meet the needs of our patients.

While many referrals are made due to the emotional needs that patients are experiencing (e.g. depression, anxiety, etc.), others are made due to problems of behavior.  Treatment noncompliance, problem eating behaviors, sleep problems, poorly managed stress that is contributing to somatic symptoms (e.g. headaches) – these are a few examples of the types of issues that our psychologists have specialized skills to treat.
