They maintain "Collaborative Agreements" with Dr. Pagnani & the physicians at Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates (maintaining a high level of competency and supervision) and are able to provide outpatient psychiatric care for individuals struggling with Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, Autism and addiction, at a more affordable rate and with only a minimal wait, compared to many outpatient Psychiatrists in the Philadelphia area.

Of note, if you are already working with a therapist or would like a specific type of psychotherapy, we are happy to not only work with your current therapist, but also to provide resources for therapists outside of our practice. We pride ourselves in collaborating closely with our patients' providers.
