Concierge Psychiatry: A Smarter, More Personal Approach to Mental Health
By Christopher Black, PMHNP | Black Psychiatry
Mental health treatment shouldn't feel like you're being rushed through a system. At Black Psychiatry, we believe that healing starts with being heard. That’s why we’ve chosen a different path-one that prioritizes time, attention, and a deep partnership with every patient.
This is the heart of Concierge Psychiatry.
What Is Concierge Psychiatry?
Concierge psychiatry is a highly personalized model of mental health care. Instead of brief appointments and long wait times, it gives you direct access to your provider, extended sessions, and a plan that’s actually built around you-not insurance company quotas or outdated systems.
Think of it as the difference between fast food and a private chef. Same ingredients, entirely different experience.
Why We Offer Concierge Care at Black Psychiatry
Traditional psychiatry is often limited by:
15-minute medication checks
Long delays between appointments
Providers who never really get to know you
One-size-fits-all treatment plans
We knew there had to be a better way. With a concierge model, we’re able to offer:
60–90 minute initial consultations
Consistent communication between appointments
Longer follow-ups (30–60 minutes) that go deeper than just meds
Direct scheduling with your provider—no phone trees or gatekeepers
Integration of therapy, nutrition, lifestyle, and functional medicine
This allows us to truly partner with you, supporting every aspect of your mental health journey.
Who Is Concierge Psychiatry For?
This model is especially valuable if you:
Feel unseen or unsupported by traditional mental health systems
Have complex or treatment-resistant symptoms
Want to explore functional and integrative psychiatry (nutrition, gut health, hormones, sleep, etc.)
Need flexibility and discretion in scheduling (professionals, parents, executives)
Are ready to invest in a preventative, whole-person approach
Many of our patients come to us after feeling let down by years of fragmented care. Concierge psychiatry offers something they’ve often never experienced before: continuity, trust, and transformation.
Is Concierge Psychiatry Covered by Insurance?
This model is typically out-of-network-which allows us to bypass the limitations of insurance-driven care and focus fully on clinical excellence.
However, we can often provide superbills that you can submit for reimbursement (depending on your plan), and we’re happy to help you understand what that might look like.
More importantly, concierge care gives you direct value: fewer visits, more effective care, and faster progress with a provider who actually knows your story.
What Makes Our Concierge Model Unique?
At Black Psychiatry, we combine medical training, functional medicine, and ketamine therapy into a unified, evidence-based approach. That means:
We don’t just look at your symptoms-we look at your sleep, stress, inflammation, trauma history, and lifestyle.
We build custom treatment plans based on lab work, emotional needs, and personal goals.
And we walk beside you-whether your healing takes weeks, months, or years.
This isn’t surface-level psychiatry. This is root-cause, human-centered care.
Final Thoughts
Your mental health deserves more than 15 rushed minutes and a refill. It deserves presence. Listening. Time. Strategy. And a provider who’s not just managing you, but genuinely invested in your growth.
Concierge psychiatry makes that possible.
If you’re ready for a different kind of mental health care-one that actually feels like care—we’re here to help you begin.
