Booking with a particular clinician

You may ask for a specific clinician when you contact us. If you are not sure who to see, start with a psychiatric diagnostic evaluation – the initial visit that establishes a diagnosis and a treatment plan, and the point at which the right clinician for your care becomes clear. Our coordinator will call you to schedule.

All four clinicians offer both in-person appointments at our downtown office and remote visits across Illinois; with our psychiatrists that remote visit is telepsychiatry. Session fees and insurance participation are on our fees and insurance page.

Frequently asked questions

    Can I ask to see a particular clinician?
    Yes. Tell our coordinator which clinician you would like to see when you call or complete the screening form. If you are not sure, start with a psychiatric diagnostic evaluation and the right clinician for your care will become clear from it.
    Do all four clinicians see patients by telehealth?
    Yes. All four see patients in person at our Chicago Loop office and by telehealth across Illinois. Dr. Flom is additionally licensed in Indiana and Missouri.
    What is the difference between the psychiatrists and the social worker?
    Our three psychiatrists are physicians who can diagnose, prescribe and monitor medication, and provide psychotherapy. Kelsey Stallter is a licensed clinical social worker who provides psychotherapy and does not prescribe.
