In many cases, the treatment approach consists of psychotherapy (often in conjunction with a separate psychotherapist), lifestyle changes, and, when warranted, pharmacotherapy.

As Medical Director of the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Clinic at Rush University, Dr. Byrne can help identify if TMS would be a warranted intervention as well. If appropriate, he can facilitate enrollment in TMS at Rush.

Byrne Psychiatry Psychiatric Services
Visits
I believe that in-person visits are typically more valuable for patients and more informative for me than most video visits. Allotting a specific time and physical space devoted toward your mental wellness and goals is the first step. Currently, I have clinic availability on Tuesday afternoons and evenings until 7 PM. With long-term patients that are stable, video visits may optionally be incorporated throughout the course of treatment.
Insurance and Payment
At this time, our clinic is fee for service only, meaning Dr. Byrne is not in-network with any insurance panels. Payment is submitted at the time of the visit. Visit fees range from $200 to $500 depending on the length and nature of the visit. If requested, we can provide a "super-bill" for each visit, which patients can then submit to their health insurance to obtain out-of-network reimbursement.
Contact Us
If you have any questions or would like to schedule an intake, don't hesitate to contact us. A brief screening phone call at no charge will be requested with Dr. Byrne in order to ensure that this is the right clinic for you and to answer any questions.
