She also offers GeneSight psychotropic testing, which can help when earlier medications did not work or caused side effects.
What a First Visit With Rachel Looks Like
A first visit is a full psychiatric evaluation. Rachel asks about what brought you in, how long it has been going on, your health history, any medications you have tried, and what daily life looks like for you right now. Then she explains what she thinks is going on in plain language and talks through the options with you, including whether medication makes sense.
You leave with a plan you have agreed to, not one handed to you. Follow-up visits are shorter and focus on how you are doing, what has changed, and whether anything in the plan needs adjusting. Most new patients are seen within a week, and many major insurance plans are accepted; the FAQ explains how benefits are checked before your first visit. Our article on what to expect at your first psychiatric evaluation goes through it step by step.
How She Works
Rachel's approach is collaborative. She believes treatment works best when you understand the reasons behind it, so she explains why she is recommending a medication, what side effects to watch for, and how long it should take to tell whether it is helping. She starts carefully, adjusts based on how you respond, and checks in regularly rather than leaving a prescription to run unattended.
When it helps, and with your agreement, family can be part of the conversation, and practical guidance on sleep, routine and stress is built into the plan alongside any medication.
The Articles She Reviews

The library covers the questions patients ask her most: how conditions show up in real life, how treatments compare, and when it is time to get help.
