Psychiatric Evaluations and Treatment in California & Arizona

We start with your symptoms and health history, review your medications and existing results, and consider further testing when it fits your case.

What people ask before their first visit

Do you accept insurance?

Coverage depends on the clinician, state, specific plan or product, and visit type. Send us your plan details; we will check benefits before confirming your options. Self-pay is also available.

What does the first visit cost?

Canybec's self-pay diagnostic evaluation is $450; Sharon's self-pay initial evaluation is $350. Self-pay follow-ups are $150 for either clinician. Your insurance responsibility depends on your plan and claim; contact us for a benefits check before confirming a visit.

What happens during the evaluation?

We review symptoms, medical history, medications, prior treatment, and relevant results. We consider tests or referrals when clinically indicated. Visit length is confirmed for the clinician and visit type offered.

Do you provide therapy or just medication?

We provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management when appropriate. We can coordinate with a therapist or another clinician when your care calls for it.

Show 6 more questions
Will I need ongoing intensive treatment?

Follow-up frequency depends on your symptoms, treatment, and response. We discuss the plan with you and adjust it when needed.

Is this only for severe cases?

No. You can request an evaluation for ADHD, anxiety, depression, medication questions, or symptoms that still need a clear assessment.

What if you don't find a medical cause?

A medical cause may not be identified. We still review the symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options, and discuss what follow-up is needed.

How quickly can I be seen?

Ask our team about current appointment options. We confirm scheduling during intake based on visit type, state, insurance status, and whether telehealth or in-person care fits.

What if I need more frequent visits initially?

We set follow-up frequency from the treatment plan and your clinical needs. It can change as we monitor your response.

What conditions do you treat?

We evaluate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, medication concerns, and other diagnostic questions. We review medical contributors when your history suggests they matter.
