Operating outside the constraints of insurance allows Dr. Borecky to devote more time to each patient, ensuring a heightened standard of mental health care. Patients can request a "super-bill" to potentially obtain partial reimbursement from their insurance. Those under both therapy and medication management with Dr. Borecky are recommended to have weekly appointments. However, patients with an external therapist can opt for monthly visits. Once stability is achieved, appointments are typically scheduled every three months.
Dr. Borecky continually strives to understand the intricate nuances of human connection. His work on the 'Connection Index' stands as a testament to this commitment, offering evidence-based insights into relationship dynamics. Additionally, his significant contributions to the 'Psychiatry & Psychotherapy Podcast' have played a pivotal role in advancing continuing medical education topics such as:
