Insurance
We're in-network with Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, and most out-of-state Blue Cross Blue Shield plans — so most patients pay just their plan's copay, usually $20–$60 a visit. We verify your exact coverage and email you what you'll pay before your first visit. Self-pay rates are published and transparent too.
Not in-network: Blue Shield of California, Cigna, United Healthcare, Kaiser, Medi-Cal, Medicare. If that's your plan, self-pay is an option — see pricing.
What we offer
We don't push one approach. Medication, therapy, or both — we'll build the plan with you and adjust it as you grow.
A careful, thorough evaluation for adult ADHD. Medication care including stimulant and non-stimulant options. Long-term and refinable — not a one-visit diagnosis and goodbye. We also work with comorbid presentations: ADHD alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, PMDD.
Panic, GAD, social anxiety, high-functioning anxiety. We look for what's driving the symptoms — sleep, medical contributors, perfectionism, burnout — not just the label on top.
Anxiety care →Low mood, motivation loss, burnout, brain fog. We rule out medical contributors, consider sleep and substances, and build a plan — medication, therapy, or both.
Depression care →Your path to care
From first click to first visit — short, clear, and reversible at any point.

In their words
Dr. H made it clear he would work with me, but only if I made a serious commitment to improving my health. I appreciated that.
He asked about trying a new medication, and within a few weeks it was doing its job phenomenally. He cared about what I was going through.
A methodical approach with a strong concern for not creating any harm. Very up-to-date on advances in medicine.

A validated online cognitive assessment — attention, memory, executive function. It gives us objective data to guide and track treatment. Takes 20–30 minutes at home. Billed separately using neuropsychological testing codes; if you're self-pay, it's included with your first visit.
See our pricing page for current self-pay rates and the Intuitive Insight Plan.
Our philosophy
Individualized care begins with a solid foundation in high-quality, evidence-based medicine. We look carefully at the biological, genetic, and functional roots of your experience — is your depression related to sleep apnea, a thyroid issue, a medication side effect? Or something hereditary and neurochemical? We investigate thoroughly. For some, that brings substantial relief on its own. For others, we gently explore deeper — the psychological and social patterns that shape well-being.

What patients say
We hear it constantly: the first place that actually listened.
“Ravi saved my life. I’m not the type of person prone to hyperbole, so I don’t make that statement lightly. He takes a methodical approach, with a strong concern for not creating any harm.”
“He didn’t just push a medication on me or try ‘whatever works best.’ He uses a system to assess symptoms and monitor progress — a data-driven methodology that’s genuinely helped.”
“Seeing Dr. H has been life-changing and possibly life-saving. He’s incredibly flexible and caring — and he takes my insurance, which makes seeing him that much easier.”
“An incredible clinician who combines academic excellence with a genuinely holistic approach. Never patronizing or dismissive — sensitive, responsive, and curious about his patients.”
“Dr. Hariprasad changed my life. He adjusted to meet my extremely busy schedule with in-person and video appointments. Very highly recommended, without reservation.”
