Tele-Psychology
Tele Psychology refers to face-to-face visits online, which establish a formal doctor-patient relationship. Sessions Health is utilized, a HIPAA compliant electronic practice management and video conferencing tool. You will have accessibility with your doctor while avoiding motorcar traffic and a waiting room. You can maintain confidentiality and comfort from the privacy of your home. To this aim, you are thoughtfully helped to set up a proper private space that offers similar therapeutic comfort of a traditional “free association” couch. Your doctor will attentively seek to enhance your engagement during visits.
Direct Psychological Care
Direct Care means fee for service; insurance is not accepted. Payment may be submitted on your behalf at time of service, or may be submitted by you at time of service through the patient portal. The patient portal can also be accessed for superbills, other relevant records, and communication with your doctor.

About Concierge Care
The Branches Psychology is a private practice that offers Concierge Care through a membership-based model. With monthly membership benefits, you can access care without worrying about additional charges.
By operating independently of the medical-industrial complex and insurance constraints, we avoid the shortened visits, limited treatment options, and restricted communication often tied to reimbursement processes. We believe this leads to better care.
Our approach fosters stronger doctor-patient relationships, offering convenience, personalization, and immediate access. Concierge Care is ideal for those seeking an accessible psychologist who provides unhurried, comprehensive attention to their needs, often resulting in greater patient satisfaction.
Concierage Care Benefits
- Longer Visits
- Same-day or next-day appointments and communication
- 6-day a week access that fits your lifestyle
- Integrated care: holistic recommendations and coordination with other specialists
- Choice in how to handle the simple communication between visits: face-to-face (tele psychology), phone, and email
- No copayments, no mystery billing from insurers, no long-term contracts
- Peace of mind from knowing the care or expertise you need is there when you need it

Individual Test Fee: varies per test
