Choosing private-pay psychiatric care is often a deliberate decision. Many adults arrive at this choice after experiencing long wait times, limited access, or brief appointments that do not allow for meaningful discussion.
Private-pay care allows for time, attention, and individualized treatment planning. It prioritizes quality of care over volume and creates space for collaborative decision-making.
At Empathy Therapy, Dr. Mark Chofla works with adults who want a thoughtful and respectful approach to psychiatric care. Appointments are designed to allow questions, discussion, and clarity around treatment options.
As one patient put it, “Kind, helpful, and gives you a lot of time to ask all the questions you need to make important mental health decisions.” - Patient on Healthgrades
Another shared, “He was kind, professional, and really listened. Even online, I felt supported and understood. He explained things clearly and made treatment easy to follow.” - Patient on Healthgrades
Private-pay care is not about urgency or quick fixes. It is about building a relationship that supports long-term mental health and quality of life.
Dr. Chofla provides fully online psychiatric care for adults in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Alaska.
