FAQs
Am I eligible to receive affordable care?
Our ultimate goal is to reach as many people as we can. However at this time we are only serving residents of California.
What is the Multifaceted Reciprocated Analysis (MRA) approach?
For the longest time, psychiatrists have been practicing what’s called the Bio-Psycho-Social model of care. It’s an intricate system used during psychiatric interviews to categorize information to help psychiatrist understand patients and formulate the best treatment plan. The MRA approach takes it a step further. The cure to improving your mental health isn’t just for the doctor to know what’s going on, but it’s for you to know what’s going on too. With MRA, we compile what we extrapolate using the BPS model into domains that are easy to understand for our clients, who in turn, tell us what they think of the analysis. Not only can it improve insight for both doctor and client, but it helps create an even better treatment plan.
