Calling or emailing is easy, and we make it as painless as possible; Tim might ask you a few questions to help match you with the best fit, such as, 'Are you looking for something specific?

Question 3

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Like many ketamine infusion therapy providers, we do not directly bill insurance. We are a private pay practice. This means that our clients pay directly for services at the time of the appointment. We accept cash, check, credit card and are able to accept many FSA or HSA cards. We have chosen to operate as a private pay practice in order to maintain your complete confidentiality and to operate with full clinical independence. We do not share any information about our clients with insurance companies and treat our clients based on our expertise rather than permitting an insurance company to dictate the frequency, length, or type of treatment you deserve.

We may be considered an out-of-network provider by your insurance company. At your request, our team is able to provide you with an insurance ready form that you can submit to your insurance company. Please let a team member know if you think you will want these forms so we can be sure to make them available for you.
If you have any questions about your insurance benefits, please contact your insurance company to see if they reimburse for out-of-network providers. We do not contact insurance companies on behalf of our clients, nor are we able to answer any questions about your insurance coverage.

Question 4

Can you see me if I have Medicaid? What if I can pay out of pocket?

Accepted Answer

We are not a Medicaid provider. We are not allowed to treat anyone who is covered under Medicaid, even if they want to pay out of pocket. Based on our conversations with Medicaid representatives we have been told explicitly that if you are covered under Medicaid, even if you wish to pay out of pocket, you are not permitted to be seen by a non-Medicaid provider. Likewise, as non-Medicaid providers, we are barred from treating anyone who is covered under Medicaid. We did not make these rules, but we are required to follow them. If you have Medicaid please contact Medicaid to find a list of providers who are allowed to see Medicaid clients.

Question 5

How often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

After our first consultation, there will be an initial series of 6 infusions will take place every other day for a period of 12-14 days. Although we don’t recommend varying too much from this treatment protocol we will customize the treatments to help meet your personal healing needs. Subsequent single booster infusions may be required to keep your symptoms at bay. Resolution of symptoms may last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. Though not originally approved for these conditions by the FDA. It is safe OFF-LABEL use of this medication as we administer it under a controlled setting with a physician monitoring you.Since the use of Ketamine is OFF-LABEL insurance companies or Medicaid/Medicare will NOT COVER its use for treating depression.

Question 6

How long will I be in therapy?

Accepted Answer

Length of therapy is a collaborative decision. We never want to keep you longer than you want or need to be in therapy. We love to see our clients meet their goals and thrive. Our team will work with you to set your goals and move forward accordingly. For many of our clients, the beginning of therapy is about diving into the immediate concern that caused you to seek therapy initially. Early treatment involves helping you to achieve your goals such as reduced symptoms or improved relationships. Some clients choose to graduate from therapy once they have met their initial goals, and know they can come back at any time if needed. We believe that therapy can be helpful both as a short term way to address immediate challenges and as a long term part of your ongoing personal growth, mental wellness, and/or self-care.

Question 7

Will you share my information with anyone?

Accepted Answer

Confidentiality and privacy are at the heart of good, ethical therapy. We will never share any of your information with anyone without an authorized release of information signed by you. If someone contacts us asking for information about you, we will neither confirm nor deny that you are a client here unless we already have explicit written permission from you to speak with that person. If we do have your written permission, we will only share the specific information that you have given us permission to share.

Question 8

Do you offer remote therapy appointments?

Accepted Answer

Virtual therapy can be a great option for people who have challenges attending in-person appointments.  Due to licensing regulations, you must reside in the state of Arizona to be seen remotely by one of our therapists.
If you live in the mountains or in a rural area or have other barriers to attending in-person therapy appointments, we are happy to offer remote therapy. We offer telehealth therapy appointments using a HIPAA-compliant video therapy system that can be used from any smartphone, tablet, or computer.
We can adapt trauma techniques for virtual therapy, including EMDR.

Question 9

Can I do my consultation over the phone?

Accepted Answer

Due to Covid-19 all new consults will be done using teletherapy/virtual therapy.
The purpose of the initial consultation session is to ensure goodness of fit between therapist and client and we find that this is best done face-to-face using the medium you plan to use for therapy sessions.

Question 10

Do you provide medication management?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do. Dr. Tim Frank specializes in:

Pregnancy, Postpartum 
Eating Disorder Recovery
Anxiety, Worry, and Panic
Mood Disorders
Trauma Recovery
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

If medication is part of your mental health treatment, we can collaborate with your existing prescriber. If you aren’t sure if medication might be helpful to you, you and your therapist can talk about this, and they can help you decide how to proceed. We can also collaborate with your family doctor, primary care physician, OBGYN, or midwife to support your medication needs.

Question 11

If I don’t feel like I found the right fit right away, can I make an appointment with someone else?

Accepted Answer

When considering ketamine therapy, it is vital to find the right fit with a provider you can open up to and trust. Sometimes, the first provider you meet is not the right fit. If your initial consultation session does not result in a great fit with a provider, we can recommend other providers in the area if you prefer. Our team will never take this personally. We believe everyone deserves to find a great fit with a provider, even if it isn’t with us.

Question 12

Can I make an appointment for someone else?

Accepted Answer

If you are calling for your child, yes of course you can. If you are calling for an adult, we can give you information and even hold a time for them, but they will need to confirm the appointment. We are able to hold an appointment for 48 hours.

Question 13

Are there specialties that you do not see?

Accepted Answer

Substance abuse: We do not have anyone on our staff who specializes in substance abuse so are not a good fit as your primary therapist if you are currently struggling with active substance abuse. If you are in recovery and have substance abuse specific support in place, we may be a good fit to work on related issues such as mood, anxiety, or relationships. We also work with clients who are in long term recovery and are interested in understanding their deeper challenges, managing mood or anxiety issues, or working on their relationships. If your main therapeutic goal is around active substance abuse, we are not the best fit.
Custody evaluations or court ordered therapy: We do not do custody evaluations or court ordered therapy.
Animal evaluations: Like most therapists, we will not certify an Emotional Service Animal without an established relationship with a client. If you are calling with getting an emotional support animal letter as your main goal, we are not the right fit.
Disability: Like most therapists, we will not sign disability papers without having an established, ongoing relationship with a client. If you are looking for someone to fill out disability forms, we are not the right fit.

Question 14
