The diagnosis and treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders, ADHD and Substance Use Disorders is complex, and demands individualized care.

We are a fee-for-service practice, and payment is due at the time of each visit. We understand that some individuals may prefer to find an in-network provider, and therefore, we have also included information on this page, for mental health resources in the Princeton, East & West Windsor and Mercer County area, for finding providers outside of our practice for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and ADHD.
