Lumos Psychiatric Reviews
Dr. Maitra is awesome! I can't say enough about her. She cares about her patients and has a great team of co-workers. Swati goes above and beyond and handles extra tasks for me. More than recommended for anyone who wants a great professional at an accommodating clinic with a lovely team of staff members. Thanks for everything, guys!

I didn't want to consult a psychiatrist because my lifestyle demanded mental health therapy. I thought I could do it all, handle it all, and be the superwoman everyone thought I was and my family expected of me...anxiety and depression took over my life and I tried everything to rise above it. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Left untreated, the symptoms tormented my life and hurt people I loved. Dr. Maitra is compassionate and the best psychiatrist around. She helped me understand I had a biological imbalance, not just a mental illness. She gave me the strength to share my journey without shame. Dr. Maitra has also been helping me with other private concerns, so I'm confident and hopeful I can overcome these too. Her office is gorgeous and her team handles the important aspects! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a second or third opportunity, is hesitant about a diagnosis, fears judgment, or has lost hope!
She's humble and kind. If you trust her, she can change your life too!

The Cash Pay Practice Difference
How Does It Work?
We do not participate with any insurance plans. You are welcome to use your health savings account or flex spending credit cards. We do provide a statement of service following the appointment.
Our Patients looking to be reimbursed by their Insurance, use their out-of-network benefits by submitting our insurance coded billing statement to their Insurance provider and are reimbursed per their coverage.
Some questions you may want to ask your insurance provider about seeing us as an ‘Out of Network’ medical provider:
- “Does my plan cover out of network benefits for mental/behavioral health?”
- “What is my deductible and what percentage will I be reimbursed after my deductible is met?”
