We are not accepting new patients at this time, but we do expect that our new psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, Tiffany Terry, will begin accepting new clients by summer of 2025. If you are interested in being placed on the waitlist to meet with Tiffany, please email us at info@pghpsych.com.
Our practice accepts patients with commercial Highmark and UPMC insurance policies. We DO NOT accept Medicaid or Medicare policies.
Your first session is primarily an opportunity for us to begin to get to know you. Though people are often anxious to ‘get to work’ or start a medicine, sometimes it is difficult to know how best to advise you until we have a better understanding of the nature of your concerns. We will then arrange a follow-up visit where we can continue the conversation and move forward with treatment.
In trying to get a full picture of you as a person, our practitioners typically will ask the nature of your current mental health concerns. To put these in perspective, we also will ask about your past experience with treatment, past emotional difficulties, upbringing, developmental history, medical history, substance use history, family history, trauma history, and recent/current stressors. At times these questions may not seem relevant to your current situation, but please trust that your honest and straightforward accounts will help us greatly to provide you the best quality mental health care.
