Patient First Care: Reclaiming Your Treatment
Sunnyside Comprehensive Care operates outside of the traditional insurance network. This is a deliberate choice. Not to limit who I can work with, but to protect the quality and privacy of the care I provide.
When we remove insurance companies from the equation, the only relationship that matters is the one between you and me. We aren't answering to an algorithm or a third-party payer. We are answering only to your health and your goals.
Psychiatric Services & Care Options
Tailored Visits, Transparent Options
When you become a patient here, you're not booking a series of appointments. You're entering a clinical partnership — one where I learn your history, understand your life, and stay connected to your care between visits. Whether that means answering a question through the portal, coordinating with your therapist, or adjusting your treatment plan as your circumstances change, I'm here as your provider, not just your prescriber. The tiers below reflect different levels of access and visit frequency — but the commitment to knowing you and caring for you well is the same in both.
-
$325
A comprehensive first visit focused on understanding your medical and psychiatric history, current symptoms, and concerns. Together, we identify your goals and develop an initial, personalized medication and treatment plan.

By operating as a private-pay practice, I am choosing to prioritize your experience over the requirements of insurance networks who ultimately do not care about your health. This model allows me to offer:
Why My Practice Model is Designed for You
Radical Transparency: You know exactly what you are paying for. There are no surprise bills from insurance companies, no claim denials, and no hidden in vs out-of-network confusion.
True Autonomy: We make decisions based on what you actually need, not what an insurance company is willing to cover. Your treatment plan is ours to create, refine, and change.
More Time: Without the pressure to see as many patients as possible per day, we have the space for thoughtful, unhurried, and comprehensive care.
Privacy: In an insurance-based model, your sensitive mental health information must be shared with third parties for billing and "medical necessity" reviews. With private pay, your clinical details remain strictly between us.
Direct, Human Access: You won’t find any chatbots, automated triage systems, or generic "help desk" replies here. When you reach out with a question, the response comes directly from me.
Why I Built Sunnyside
After practicing in psychiatry for almost a decade in institutional settings, I kept running into the same wall: not enough time, not enough continuity, and a system that asked me to treat symptoms on a schedule rather than truly know the person in front of me.
Sunnyside Comprehensive Care is my answer to that.
I didn't build this practice to offer a luxury experience. I built it because I believe this is simply how psychiatric care should work. Smaller panels. More time. A real relationship with your provider that doesn't reset every time a system changes around you.
I'm not going anywhere. This is mine, and it was built for you.
Ready to Begin?
If you are ready for a different kind of care—one that truly prioritizes your time, your privacy, and your path to feeling better—I invite you to schedule our first appointment together.
I’m accepting new patients. Current wait time: 1 week.
Service & Model FAQs
-
No. Sunnyside Comprehensive Care is a private pay practice, which means I do not work with insurance companies directly.
Being private pay allows me to carry a smaller caseload, meaning I am able to give you the time, attention, and care that you deserve. Additionally, you are able to maintain greater privacy and control of the treatment you receive.
-
While some might use that term, I prefer to call my model a personalized and collaborative partnernship. This isn't about providing a luxury service; it's about removing the barriers found in the traditional medical system. Instead of 15-minute, transactional appointments every few months, I serve as a dedicated partner in your mental health journey.
This means having a clinician who truly knows your story—the history you’ve lived, the family and pets you care about, and exactly where you are today versus where you want to go. My focus is on accessibility, thoughtful treatment options and stability, ensuring that as your life evolves, your care evolves right alongside you.
-
I completely understand that cost is a primary concern. While it is natural to focus on the upfront price, I encourage my patients to consider the cost of staying stuck.
The traditional healthcare system often keeps us in a revolving door of repeated co-pays, lost waiting for care productivity, and the heavy, ongoing toll of feeling "fine" but not being fine. Sunnyside is designed for those ready to break that cycle. You aren't just paying for an hour of time; you are investing in a partnership that prioritizes getting you back to yourself as efficiently as possible.
When you consider the impact on your career, your education, and your daily life, the question isn't just "What is the cost of care?" but rather, "What is the cost of another year spent suffering in silence?"
-
A card is kept in your secure, HIPAA-compliant medical record and is drafted on monthly or annual basis. automatically when your visit is completed. I accept all major types of cards and HSA/FSA payments.
-
We ask for an initial 6 month partnership to start. Meaningful mental health changes and the stabilization we aim for don’t happen overnight. A 6 month term gives us the necessary time to understand your history, calibrate your treatment, and move beyond just managing symptoms to helping you reach your goals.
Following this initial term, memberships renew annually. This structure supports our commitment to long-term continuity of care, ensuring you have reliable, consistent access to your clinical partner as you continue your progress.
-
Cost should not prevent access to care. A limited number of sliding scale appointments are available. Payment plans may also be arranged for those who need additional flexibility. Please reach out to me for more information.
-
If you established care with Gabrielle at any practice prior to March 1, 2026, you are eligible for the “Legacy Transition Rate.” To secure this rate, please reach out to Gabrielle by June 1, 2026.
After June 1, 2026, any legacy (or previously established) patient who has not yet enrolled will be subject to standard membership pricing, pending remaining panel availability.

Under the law, as a healthcare provider, I will give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
This estimate is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and explains how much your services will cost. Here are a few key things you should know about your Good Faith Estimate:
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
You may ensure that I give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 3 business days before your visit. You can also ask me for a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling.
If you receive a bill that is $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
It's recommended that you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
