1) What age patients do you treat?

We evaluate and treat adult patients ages 18+.

2) Where are you located?

Our office is located in Michigan. However, our appointments are held via convenient online video sessions (telehealth). If you are interested in an in-person appointment, please contact hello@trueyoupsych.com.

3) In which states can you see patients?

We can provide complete care with patients in Michigan, New York, Florida, California, Virginia, Georgia and Arizona. If you reside in any other state, due to licensing regulations we can work with you on a consultative basis only. This means we can perform an evaluation and offer recommendations but we are unable to order lab work, prescribe, or establish care as we are not licensed in your location.

4) Do you accept health insurance?

In order to provide the highest level of holistic care to our patients, we do not take insurance which means patients pay for fees out-of-pocket. This allows us the flexibility needed to treat our patients with a holistic approach. We are out-of-network providers.

If you are located in Michigan, New York, Florida, California, Virginia, Georgia or Arizona, you may be able to get up to 90% of our fees reimbursed by your insurance. In these states, we can provide the necessary form to submit to your insurance for reimbursement after appointments.

5) What if I am currently abusing the medication I want to taper?

We are unable to treat substance use disorders. If you are actively or recently abusing the medication you are on, please seek treatment with a medical provider who is trained and experienced in addiction treatment.

6) What approach do you use to help people taper?

Through years of experience in tapering, we have found what works.

We do hyperbolic, patient-led tapers.

We use a slow rate (reducing every 3-12 weeks) & small medication reductions (2.5% - 10% at a time is common but varies for each person).

We do not use rigid schedules but adjust based on what your body tolerates.

We do not use medication bridges.

We appreciate the Ashton Manual (but don’t often follow it).

We give holistic lifestyle recommendations that ease withdrawal.

We provide ongoing mental & emotional support before, during, & after your taper.
