Becoming A Patient of Renewed Outlook

New Patient Scheduling Info

Update as of September 17, 2025

We are currently accepting requests for new patient intakes.

🔹 Accepting
Our practice specializes in medication management and medication management with brief psychotherapy (30-minute follow-up visits). Brief psychotherapy is intended as a supportive service alongside medication management and is not a replacement for ongoing therapy with a dedicated therapist or counselor.

At this time, psychotherapy-only appointments are rarely available, and are offered only when clinically appropriate at the discretion of the provider.

🔹 Scheduling Availability

  • Evening appointments are currently full.

  • An occasional evening follow-up slot may be available, but this is not guaranteed.

  • Late afternoon appointments are limited; most appointments are scheduled during typical business hours.

  • We do not currently have weekend availability. While this may change in the future, it is not guaranteed.

📌 Controlled Substances Notice
If you may be prescribed a controlled substance, an in-person visit is required before medication can be initiated. Ongoing periodic in-person visits will also be required, as determined by the provider, insurance requirements, and DEA regulations. This applies to medications such as stimulants, benzodiazepines, certain sleep aids, and others.
