Our providers have immediate availability for new adults patients with commercial Highmark, Aetna, or UPMC insurance plans or private pay. Please call our office at 412-278-5000 or email us at info@pghpsych.com if you are interested in setting up an initial appointment.
Your first session will usually be about 60-90 minutes long and is primarily an opportunity for us to begin to get to know you. 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 prior experience with treatment, past emotional difficulties, upbringing, developmental history, medical history, substance use history, family history, trauma history, and recent/current stressors. We will then discuss medication options.
Follow-up appointments are generally about 30 minutes long and are scheduled as often as necessary.
