You will first be asked to complete a prospective patient questionnaire and a free 10-minute phone consultation in order to determine if we can meet your needs. This helps us to expedite scheduling and to avoid wasting your time and money if we are unable to assist you.
Once you have completed your consultation, the next step is your initial psychiatric evaluation appointment. At this time all appointments will be via telemedicine.** You will be provided with detailed instructions prior to your visit. This initial visit will last ~45 minutes where we will gather detailed medical and psychiatric histories to establish an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.
If you have prior psychiatric treatment records for review, we ask that you have these faxed to our office 48 hours prior to your appointment.

The Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act of 2008 was created to regulate online internet prescriptions, is enforced by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) and also imposes rules around the prescription of controlled substances through telepsychiatry.
The Act requires any practitioner issuing a prescription for a controlled substance (including benzodiazepines, hypnotics, and stimulants) to conduct one in-person medical evaluation (with certain specified exemptions) prior to prescribing controlled substances. Once an in-person evaluation is completed, the practitioner may prescribe via telemedicine thereafter.
We are able to prescribe most psychiatric medications after a telemedicine exam. Only controlled substance prescriptions are restricted without an in person visit. Common controlled substances used to treat psychiatric conditions include benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc.), hypnotics (Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata, etc.), and stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, etc.).
Though these medications are often unnecessary given a number of available alternatives, we will be happy to coordinate with your local primary care provider should we determine treatment with one of these medications to be appropriate.
We are dedicated to providing personalized, inclusive mental health care and support. Our mission is to create a comfortable and safe environment for our patients.
To ensure that we can adequately meet your needs, we ask that all potential new patients first complete a complementary 10-minute consultation call with Dr. Ault.
To get started, select the link below for online scheduling. If it is agreed that we are a good fit for you, an initial telemedicine visit will be scheduled.
