Already in treatment
If your provider left, stopped taking your insurance, or the fit was wrong, moving your care does not have to mean starting over.
Providers retire, practices go private pay, insurance networks change, and sometimes a working relationship simply does not fit. None of that is a reflection on you, and none of it means your progress resets.
Steven regularly takes on people already in treatment. The goal in the first appointment is continuity: understanding what you are on, what has worked, what has not, and keeping things stable while care moves over.
Making the move
Schedule through Headway as a new patient. Note in the booking that you are transferring care so time can be allowed for history.
Medication names, doses and how long you have been on them. A photo of the bottles is the easiest way to get this exactly right.
What has been tried, what helped, what caused side effects, and what you never want to try again. This history is genuinely valuable - it saves repeating dead ends.
Steven will discuss what continues as is and what, if anything, is worth revisiting. Nothing changes without talking about it first.
Try to schedule before you run out. If a gap is unavoidable, mention it when booking so it can be factored in, and contact your current prescriber or pharmacy about a short bridge supply.
Two ways forward
Some people are ready to put an appointment on the calendar. Others want to understand the details first. Both are welcome here.
Headway is where appointments, insurance and billing are handled. You will see current availability, add your insurance for a cost estimate, and choose a time that works.

Clear, clinically responsible answers to questions patients ask before and during psychiatric care.
Burnout is usually tied closely to chronic work stress, while depression can affect mood and functioning across settings. They can occur together, and persistent hopelessness, major impairment, or thoughts of self-harm require prompt support. This article explains how the two overlap, what differences a clinician explores, and when to seek help.
Panic attacks are sudden intense fear; anxiety builds or persists. Symptoms can overlap. New chest pain or breathing trouble needs urgent care. A psychiatric assessment explores patterns and overlap.
Can anxiety cause anger? Explore the link between anxiety and irritability, the brain science, common triggers, and evidence-based ways to manage it.
Anxiety can feel unexplained even when contributing factors exist. A psychiatric evaluation may explore symptom patterns, stress, sleep, health conditions, substances, medications, trauma, and how anxiety affects daily life. This article explains what a thorough evaluation looks for—and when to seek routine or urgent help.
Compare seven SSRIs used for anxiety, including sertraline and escitalopram. See evidence, side effects, and how to find the best SSRI for anxiety for you.
