Direct Care & Concierge Care
Welcome to the Branches Psychology
What Is Direct Care?
Direct Psychological Care (DPC) means fee for service; insurance not accepted. Doctors who take insurance only have the illusion of free speech. Insurance companies require doctors to meet government benchmarks and regulations, and follow protocol and checklists. They create financial incentives to favor or disfavor certain doctorial decisions, and control the amount of time a doctor has for patient communication. We believe this is undesirable. We operate independent from the layered constraints of the medical-industrial complex.
What is Concierge Care?
Concierge Care is a full-service treatment model. We prefer enhanced doctor-patient relationships that provide convenience, personalization, and immediacy for you. Monthly membership benefits allow you to be worry-free about charges whenever you need your doctor. This “old fashioned” practice style typically results in greater patient satisfaction. Concierge Care is preferred by people who want an accessible relationship with their psychologist, unhurried attention to their significant needs as they arise, and integrated care. While monthly membership services are customized for you, all of the benefits are included.
