FAQ

At this time, we offer telepsychiatry appointments to residents of Oregon and Maryland, as well as individuals who are physically located in either state during the time of service. We are actively working to expand our reach, so we encourage you to check back regularly as we add more states to our service area.

Telepsychiatry Appointment Hours:
Appointments are available Thursday through Monday, from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

In-person office visits are typically scheduled on weekends, depending on the provider’s availability. If you have any questions about our hours or do not see an available appointment time, please don’t hesitate to call or text us—we may still be able to accommodate your needs.

At Amity, we provide mental health care services for adults ages 18 to 65.
Adolescents may be seen on a case-by-case basis, depending on clinical appropriateness.

We offer treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:

• Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Psychotic disorders

Amity Mental Wellness is a small outpatient private practice. Unfortunately, we currently lack the resources and staffing necessary to safely treat and address the following complex situations…

• Alzheimer’s
• Dementia
• Developmental Disorders
• Learning Disabilities
• Chronic Suicidality
• Chronic Self-Harm
• Individuals needing pain management services requiring opioids
• Active or recent substance use disorders that require suboxone, methadone, or similar therapies.
• Individuals who are seeking ketamine treatment.

At this time, we do not offer appointments exclusively for psychotherapy. However, our providers incorporate key elements from evidence-based psychotherapy approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing—into the overall care we provide. As a result, you may see therapy-related billing codes reflected in your Explanation of Benefits for appointments.

Amity Mental Wellness accepts most major commercial insurance plans.

• In Oregon, we are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, MODA, Regence, PacificSource, Providence, and Optum. We will soon be accepting Oregon Health Plan (OHP).

• In Maryland, we accept Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, and Optum. We will soon be in-network with Tricare, CareFirst, and Johns Hopkins.

If we are not currently credentialed with your insurance provider, we encourage you to contact your insurance company to inquire about out-of-network benefits. Upon request, our licensed provider will gladly provide a detailed receipt or superbill that you may submit for potential reimbursement.

Amity Mental Wellness is a small private outpatient practice, and, unfortunately, we are not equipped to provide emergency services for new or existing clients. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or require immediate assistance, we strongly encourage you to contact a crisis resource or visit your nearest emergency department.

Please keep this in mind when reaching out to us as a new client. While we strive to schedule appointments as promptly as possible, we appreciate your understanding regarding our limitations in urgent situations.

If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, please call 911 immediately.

For mental health crises, you can contact the following resources for immediate support:

• National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988

• Crisis Hotline: Call 1-800-273-TALK (8255)

Your safety and well-being are our highest priority.

Unfortunately, we are unable to refill medications that have been prescribed by your other medical providers.

If you are a client who has been seen regularly for at least six (6) months, we can discuss FMLA paperwork if your situation requires it. We do not fill out paperwork for short-term disability or workers’ compensation.

• An appointment is required to complete FMLA documentation.
• A $40 fee is required per document.
