Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you provide treatment?
Mind-Body Pediatric Psychiatry offers telehealth services for children and adolescents living in Illinois. Care is delivered virtually through secure video platforms, making access convenient and flexible for families across the state.
Is seeing a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner the same as seeing a Psychiatrist?
Both PMHNPs and Psychiatrists can assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions using medication and therapy. Research shows NPs provide care equal in quality, effectiveness, and patient satisfaction to physicians. My specialty is supporting children and teens with personalized, family-centered care.

Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we are in-network with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois Commercial Plans. If you have another insurance provider, payment is due at the time of service.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a detailed superbill so you can submit a claim to your insurance company. We can also use Thrizer to help streamline the reimbursement process and lower your upfront costs.
How soon can my child be seen?
We prioritize immediate access to care, and most new patients can be scheduled within 1–2 weeks. Our telehealth model offers flexible daytime appointment times to fit busy family schedules.
What ages do you work with?
We specialize in pediatric psychiatry for children and adolescents, ages 3 to 17 years old. Our holistic, developmentally tailored approach supports mental health across all stages of childhood and adolescence.
Do you offer holistic and integrative mental health care?
Yes. Mind-Body Pediatric Psychiatry takes a holistic, integrative approach. In addition to traditional psychiatric treatments like medication management, we incorporate nutrition, sleep, lifestyle factors, mindfulness, supplements, and emotional development to treat the whole child — mind and body.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat a range of pediatric mental health concerns, including ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, trauma-related symptoms, behavioral challenges, and mood disorders. Personalized care plans are created for each child based on their unique needs and family goals.
