Your path to better mental health starts here

Keystone Psychiatry is accepting new patients for virtual and in-person evaluations. Work through the three steps below — you’ll choose your provider and book at the end.

Before you book

Your appointment isn’t confirmed until your intake forms are done

After you schedule, you’ll receive your intake paperwork by email. Please complete it right away. Appointments with incomplete paperwork are cancelled, and repeated cancellations may end access to online booking.

Appointment availability is limited. Please reserve a time only if you’re ready to finish the paperwork and attend, so that times stay open for patients who are actively seeking care.

Step one

Check your insurance

We’re in network with the plans on the left. If your plan appears on the right, please don’t book — we won’t be able to see you, and your appointment will be cancelled.

Booking an ADHD evaluation

For patients 18 and older seeking care for ADHD, the following requirements apply. Booking without meeting them will result in a cancelled appointment.

  1. ADHD is not treated in isolation. You must have additional mental health concerns or diagnoses — for example anxiety, depression, or trauma — requiring evaluation and management alongside ADHD.
  2. TOVA testing must be completed first. We do not treat ADHD in isolation without it.
  3. Stimulants are not prescribed alongside a benzodiazepine (Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Valium).
  4. Stimulants are not prescribed to patients on multiple controlled substances (oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, Suboxone).
Where to get TOVA testing
