Fara R White MD
BOARD CERTIFIED PsycHiatrist, therapist & team coordinator
With trust and transparency as our treatment cornerstones, Dr Fara White creates a safe space for deeply authentic personal connection and insight-rich conversations that lead to actionable change and sustained results.
ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Experiencing any variety of symptoms that interfere with everyday enjoyment, or prevent true connection in relationships, warrants psychiatric support and therapeutic attention. The most common reason that patients come in for treatment is to restore a sense of happiness and contentment within their lives, or to process traumatic experiences, in order to feel fulfilled, content, and happy within themselves again.
The first step towards feeling better can sometimes be to bring thoughts and behaviors into consciousness. From a therapeutic perspective, the simple act of hearing your story out loud, and perhaps rewriting it collaboratively, can help ease suffering and embed lasting resolution. It can powerfully and efficiently resolve triggers and symptoms that may be a result of physiological imbalance, unprocessed developmental trauma, or unconscious conflict buried deeply within ourselves. Our work will aim to understand the ways in which certain coping patterns are maladaptive, and what we can do to organize and implement lasting change.
What to Expect
Patients come to therapy with different goals, and our work together will be highly individualized to meet those objectives. Our overarching methodology uses thoughts, feelings, and early life experience to help reveal motivations behind behaviors. By taking into account an individual’s unique personal story as well as their own biochemistry, successful treatment may take into account psychodynamic therapeutic methods as well as diagnostics and medication, all of which are used thoughtfully and deliberately.
Treatment Sessions
Upon first visit, our patients are thoroughly evaluated with an hour-long introductory session, during which time goals are set and a comprehensive treatment plan is provided. All subsequent ongoing sessions are 45-minutes, and are held on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the patient’s unique treatment plan. To ensure complete and thorough assessment during your treatment, Dr Fara White will routinely ask to speak with partners or family to gain a holistic understanding of a specific issue or concern. In order to maintain the highest level of trust, transparency, and personal connection with her patients, she prefers to avoid treating multiple members of a family or friend group.
Collaborative Therapy
Upon patient preference, Dr Fara White welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively with other healthcare providers and therapists to provide effective and cohesive treatment. If people are coming in at the recommendation of a therapist they’re happy with, Dr. White will gladly work to optimize the team model. If she feels that additional people in her network would be beneficial, she will discuss that with the patient to develop the perfect team. We understand that psychiatric symptoms can make it tough to schedule and keep appointments, and are prepared to help as much as necessary to so our patients get the help they need.
Insurance
We do not currently accept insurance, but have partnered with Reimbursify to help you make the most out of your out-of-network benefits. Being out of network with insurance companies allows us to determine and deliver a treatment plan based on what works best for you as an individual. Fees associated with treatment are commensurate with other psychiatrists in the metropolitan area. To find out if your insurance company will reimburse you for a portion of treatment, you may contact your insurance company directly, or click the “use your insurance” button on our home page. We will provide superbills to you or submit them on your behalf. Should you have any questions regarding our fees, financial policies, and insurance reimbursement, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
“It is my goal to help those in treatment understand themselves a little bit better, and perhaps become more compassionate towards themselves and others over time. ”
