Everything you need before your first visit.

A few things — and they matter.

Most patients see a psychiatrist for 15 minutes and leave with a prescription. Dr. Mirsky provides both psychotherapy and medication management personally, within the same relationship. That means he is not just managing your symptoms — he is getting to know you, understanding your history, and treating the whole person.

He is a recognized expert in psychopharmacology, previously serving as a preferred referral source for the Mayo Clinic’s psychiatry department for complex, treatment-resistant cases in the Chicago area. His clinical depth is genuine and it shows in the quality of care his patients experience.

He is also genuinely accessible. Between appointments, patients have direct access to Dr. Mirsky and his office staff when something comes up that can’t wait. Revised per JM note — confirm

Upon request, a superbill can be provided after each appointment for you to submit independently to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary by plan and provider. We recommend contacting your insurance’s member services department to verify your out-of-network benefits before your first appointment.
