Prescription refills are managed during scheduled appointments. For refills needed outside of visits requests must be submitted through patient portal with 5-day notice.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or possible emergency, please call 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not wait for an appointment or use text, phone messages, or the patient portal for urgent or emergency concerns. BeeWell is a single-provider practice and does not provide 24/7 crisis coverage.

Standard initial psychiatric evaluations are scheduled for 60 minutes. Pediatric clients may be scheduled for a 90-minute comprehensive assessment instead. Please arrive a few minutes early to ensure all paperwork is complete.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Before your first appointment, you will be asked to complete intake paperwork through our patient portal, including your health history, insurance information, current medications (with doses), and a description of your primary concerns. If you have records from previous psychiatric treatment — including prior evaluations, medication lists, or therapy notes — please bring those or request that they be sent in advance. Having this information ready allows your provider to make the most of your time during the evaluation.
