How does a new patient start?
Request an initial consultation through the secure patient portal or by contacting the office. The practice reviews fit, scope, safety, and location, then replies with the next step — typically within 1-2 business days.
Who does Foundry serve?
Adults seeking routine outpatient psychiatric care — careful evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy-informed care, and integrative treatment planning.
Where are visits available?
In person in Mattapoisett and Fall River, and by telehealth for eligible adults in Massachusetts and Rhode Island when clinically appropriate.
Does Foundry see patients in Rhode Island?
Yes. Rhode Island care and scheduling are available for eligible adults when clinically appropriate. Location, telehealth fit, coverage, and safety are reviewed before care is confirmed.
Is insurance accepted?
Foundry is credentialed with multiple commercial payer panels and publishes its self-pay fees. Benefits, network status, and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan, so the practice reviews your specific coverage with you before scheduling.
Is Foundry an emergency service?
No. For immediate danger, suicidal intent, severe withdrawal, chest pain, a severe medication reaction, or any urgent safety concern, use 911, 988, the nearest emergency department, or local crisis resources — not website forms or routine messages.
What conditions does Foundry commonly evaluate?
Anxiety, depression and mood concerns, ADHD, trauma and grief-related concerns, OCD-related symptoms, sleep disruption, midlife mood changes, medication response, and recovery support — all within routine outpatient psychiatric care.
Does Foundry use pharmacogenomic testing?
Yes, when clinically appropriate — as context for medication decisions. Results inform clinical judgment; your history and response still lead.
Does Foundry recommend supplements?
When clinically relevant, yes. Supplement and nutrition review is individualized, with attention to evidence, safety, interactions, medical history, and coordination with other clinicians.
Does Foundry provide acupuncture, yoga therapy, or bodywork?
Foundry coordinates referrals to credentialed outside practitioners when adjunctive approaches would strengthen the plan — the work stays connected to your psychiatric care.
Does Foundry prescribe controlled substances?
When clinically appropriate, yes — with standard safeguards: evaluation, records when relevant, PDMP and safety review, monitoring, and follow-up.
What if I am self-pay?
Self-pay fees are published on the Insurance & Fees page, and a Good Faith Estimate is available before scheduling, consistent with the No Surprises Act.
What should I send through the public website?
Just the basics: your name, contact, state, and what you're looking for. Detailed symptoms, medication lists, records, and insurance numbers belong in the secure patient portal once care begins.
How does Foundry handle referrals?
Referring clinicians start with a non-urgent fit question; the practice reviews and responds. Records move through secure channels with appropriate authorization.
