Getting started

Is Connected Minds accepting new patients?
  • We are accepting new patients for therapy, medication management, TMS, Esketamine, and low THC oil evaluations.

Is there an age requirement at Connected Minds for services?
  • Clients must be 13+ years to receive services.
Do you offer in person services?

Yes. We offer virtual and in person services at our Marietta location.

Do I have to be in Georgia to receive services?

Yes. Even if your session is virtual, you must be physically located in Georgia, as providers can only see clients in their state of licensure.

Appointments & medication

I didn’t receive my appointment link. How else can I access my virtual appointment?

Typically, you will receive a link to join your appointment 48 hours before in your email. In the rare event you do not receive an email, you can access all your appointments directly from the patient portal at https://patientportal.advancedmd.com/150028/account/logon

Can I receive a medication refill between appointments?
Yes, medication refills are $20 per medication. If you need to reschedule but will run out of meds before your rescheduled appointment you can request a courtesy med refill as long as you have been seen in the last 90 days AND attend your rescheduled appointment.
You must have been seen in the last 90 days to receive a refill. We strongly encourage patients to attend their appointments, as regular visits are essential for ensuring safety, proper monitoring, and optimal treatment outcomes.
Please note: This refill service is intended only for straightforward, routine medication requests. Complex medication regimens or cases requiring in-depth review must be addressed during an appointment.
Does Connected Minds charge a no-show fee?

There is a $100 no show fee for ongoing clients who miss their appointment without notice. Intakes are not charged a no-show fee.

Does Connected Minds fill out Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and other disability paperwork?

Connected Minds completes disability paperwork, FMLA leave paperwork, and other extensive accommodation requests on a case by case basis based on medical necessity. It is NOT guaranteed that we are able to complete documentation requests and some requests may be subject to a fee. Please allow 14 business days for all paperwork requests.
