Our services
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation
In your initial appointment, a comprehensive clinical interview will take place. Your provider will inquire about your current symptoms, past psychiatric history, medical background, family history, and social factors to gather essential information. Utilizing this information, we can provide a preliminary or final psychiatric diagnosis, forming the basis for crafting a tailored treatment plan and determining appropriate interventions.

Medication Tapering
Medication tapering involves a gradual reduction of a medication's dosage over time, a critical process for medications like antidepressants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines. Customized tapering schedules consider factors such as medication type, half-life, and individual response. The objective is a safe transition off the medication, minimizing discomfort and mitigating risks associated with discontinuation.
Medication Management
Enhancing Medication Management is crucial for ensuring the safe and effective utilization of medications, enabling individuals to attain optimal results. Psychiatrists play a vital role by prescribing medications to address a spectrum of conditions, ranging from ADHD and anxiety to depression. Patient adherence to prescribed dosages and guidelines set by their healthcare provider is of paramount importance in achieving successful outcomes.
Insurance & Costs
Lucid Behavioral Health is not in-network with any insurance companies. You may be eligible for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits, typically included in PPO plans. The average appointment cost ranges from $300 - $500.
We recommend you call the number on the back of your insurance card to find out if you have out-of-network benefits. Please note that Medicare, Medicaid, and HMO plans will not cover your appointment costs.
