15 min Consultation Call:
Before scheduling a full evaluation, we offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. This allows for you and the provider to determine whether BrainBody is the right fit for your needs and goals. We’ll briefly discuss what brings you in, what you’re hoping to achieve, and what our process looks like so you can make an informed decision about next steps.
Comprehensive Initial Treatment Plan:
During our first meeting, we set the foundation of your personalized treatment plan. Together, we gather and review your full psychiatric, medical, and social history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. We also incorporate input from therapists or other members of your care team (with your consent).
By the end of this process, you’ll have a comprehensive treatment plan that outlines next steps — which may include medication, TMS, therapy coordination, and lifestyle strategies such as sleep, stress, and nutrition support. The focus is on creating a clear, collaborative roadmap for long-term healing and wellness.
Follow Up Meeting:
These visits combine medication management with supportive or skills-based psychotherapy to guide your ongoing progress. We review your current medications, make changes as needed, and adjust your treatment plan based on your response and comfort level. Early in treatment, we typically meet every 2–4 weeks to ensure close monitoring and support during medication adjustments. Sessions focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and maintaining therapeutic momentum between therapy visits.
Family Support Sessions; with or without Patient:
Structured sessions that help families understand the patient’s treatment plan, communication strategies, and support needs. These meetings often address family dynamics, education about the diagnosis, and how to best assist with ongoing care and recovery.
TMS Treatment
TMS is a safe, noninvasive treatment option for depression, anxious depression and OCD. TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. At BrainBody, TMS may be recommended as part of a personalized treatment plan for clients receiving medication management within our practice, or for individuals referred by outside providers who wish to continue working with their existing treatment team.
TMS is not a one-size-fits-all approach. TMS is not right for everyone, this treatment is best suited for specific clinical needs and goals. Each patient begins with a thorough evaluation to determine if TMS is an appropriate option.
Those referred from outside practices are welcome, and we strive to maintain open communication with your current provider to ensure coordinated, integrated care throughout your TMS course.

Do you take insurance?
YES! Currently we are in network with BCBS IL, Optum UBH/UHC and Cigna and Aetna. We will provide you with a “super bill” so that you may submit a claim to your insurance provider if you have an HMO or another insurance. Reimbursement rates vary depending upon your insurance and are typically considered “out of network.” Please call your insurance company to check what your “out of network” benefits are including deductible amount, reimbursement amount per 50 min. session, etc
What are your student rates?
Please reach out for out of pocket and student rates.
How long is a session?
A typical follow up session is about 20-30 min. A typical first session is 60- 90 minutes.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require 24 hours notice for all cancellations and reschedules. Missed appointments, late cancellations, and late reschedules will result in the late cancel fee.
Is therapy, medication management and coaching confidential?
Treatment both in person and telehealth, is confidential. Nothing will be shared without your consent. The exceptions to confidentiality include the following:
What is a nurse practitioner?
A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced graduate education and training. NPs can assess, diagnose, and prescribe treatment for a variety of illnesses. NPs are required to have obtained at least a master’s degree in nursing in a chosen specialty and pass a national board certifying examination.
What does a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) do?
PMHNP’s serve the psychiatric-mental health population. We assess, diagnose, and treat individuals and families with psychiatric disorders or the potential for such disorders using our full scope of therapeutic skills, including prescribing medication and administering psychotherapy.
What is the difference between a nurse practitioner (NP) and a physician (MD)?
While physicians are trained through graduate medical school and a residency in their specialty, nurse practitioners have similar, but uniquely different training and experience. All nurse practitioners have completed nursing school, a rigorous process that can range from 18 months to 3 years. Most then practice as a nurse for several years before beginning graduate school. This is an important question to ask your nurse practitioner. How many years did you practice as an RN in a direct patient care setting? Preferably, the answer is at least 5 years or more in an acute care setting such as a hospital. A master’s degree in nursing can take two to three years and includes highly specialized didactic training and extensive clinical clinical hours.
Doesn't a physician need to supervise a nurse practitioner?
Nurse practitioners have come a long way in establishing their roles as providers of medical care. For many years, nurse practitioners were not allowed to see patients without a physician closely supervising. Now, at least 23 states have allowed for nurse practitioners to practice independently, without any association with a physician. This is called having full practice authority.
