New Client Essentials
Because we are a small practice with limited availability, every request is thoughtfully reviewed before scheduling. Submitting the Prospective Client Form does not ensure services, but it allows us to identify if a provider can meet your needs.
Purpose of Care
The purpose of treatment at Alaska Integrative Psychiatry is to enhance your mental and emotional well-being. Care is not intended for legal purposes, and providers will not participate in court evaluations or serve as witnesses without prior agreement.
We are unable to provide disability evaluations, court-ordered psychiatric evaluations, or forensic assessments.
Beginning the Process
