DIRECT PSYCHOLOGICAL CARE

Direct psychological care (DPC) is also known as “old style medicine,” commonly referred to as “concierge medicine.” The Branches Psychology accepts direct fee for service and is independent from the layered constraints and pressures of the medical-industrial complex.

A part of their monthly fee, regular patients and clients can expect: convenience, personalization, and immediacy. They can have longer visits, same-day or next-day appointments, 7-day a week access that fits their lifestyles, and peace of mind from knowing the care or expertise they need is there when they need it. The doctor may streamline conversations with other specialists and set appointments that support their mental health care. Patients can also choose how to handle the simple matters: electronically, phone, or face-to-face tele psychology. Enhanced access in these ways can result in greater satisfaction. Folks who want an accessible relationship with their psychologist and unhurried attention to their significant needs as they arise really prefer this type of patient care.
