How to Get Care

How To Schedule​

For Hennepin residents with Hennepin insurance:

Send TelemediQ message to “RISE-Psychiatry”

In your message specify:

  • Which mental health services you want to schedule:
  • Medication management, therapy, both, or not sure (we can help you determine where to start!)
  • Your Specialty and PGY year
  • Your Insurance
  • If you have any urgent needs, including if you are hoping to be seen sooner than later.

For those with insurance other than Hennepin:

Please check with your insurance carrier whether they cover Hennepin services, including if they cover the “facility fee” that Hennepin charges as a hospital-based clinic prior to scheduling.

Location

Locations vary by provider and preference.

  • Redleaf Center for Family Healing
  • Shapiro Adult Psychiatry clinic
  • Virtual through Mychart
  • Limited availability at the Brooklyn Park clinic

Physician Support

For those who prefer to be seen by a psychiatrist outside Hennepin, here are some options:

1. Contact Dr. Goelz (RISE PCP at RISE-Primary Care on TelmedIQ) to determine if she can prescribe psychiatric medications or if specialty care by a psychiatrist is needed. If so, she can help connect you to a community referral.

2. Ellie Mental Health is a welcoming and confidential environment for physicians to access high-quality mental health care. Appointments are offered in-person and via telehealth and are typically scheduled within one week of initial contact.

  • Call Ellie Mental Health at (651) 313-8080 and ask for the “Empower” physician clinic with Dr. Jasberg. 
  • Send a TelmedIQ message to RISE- Psychiatry or RISE – Primary Care for access to an online link to Ellie Mental Health.

This clinic is recommended for psychiatry residents seeking medication management, allowing them to receive care outside of their own program’s faculty

3. Contact your insurance provider to determine which psychiatrists are in-network

Vital Worklife is an Employee Assistance Program available to all Hennepin employees offering phone consultation, counseling, legal and financial services, and online resources.
