Questions
What documents are required for a new patient appointment?
New patients need completed registration paperwork, photo ID, insurance card photo (if applicable), credit card on file, and any supporting documentation like release of information forms.

Telehealth allows remote treatment from home but requires Illinois presence during sessions. In-person appointments are necessary for controlled substance prescriptions and preferred by patients wanting face-to-face interaction.

Refill requests must be submitted through the patient portal during business hours. Certain medications require direct office contact and cannot be processed through the portal system.
What psychotherapy options are available?
We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety/depression, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation, and Psychodynamic Therapy for exploring past experiences' impact on current mental health.
How does psychological testing work at Stillpoint?
Psychological testing involves standardized assessments measuring cognitive abilities, personality traits, and emotional functioning. Our psychologists interpret results to diagnose conditions and develop appropriate treatment plans tailored to individual needs.
What are the billing dispute resolution options?
Patients receiving bills $400+ higher than Good Faith Estimates can dispute charges. We provide formal dispute resolution processes without affecting future care quality or access.

Incompetent front desk/billing staff. Do not bill insurance correctly and then send letters charging you for late fees and threatening collections for the job they didn't do correctly. I'm double covered...the issue is yours not mine!

Ive been a patient at Stillpoint for several years. When I moved out of state and returned, Dr. Beresford, my previous doctor, could no longer add me to his practice. I was unfortunately placed with psychiatrists who were competent but at least to me, didnt have very warm or compassionate personalities. After an unfortunate incident with my last Stillpoint physician, I asked if I could see Dr. Beresford again. I was very happy to be told yes. Dr. Beresford is calm, welcoming, patient, caring, and takes time to answer questions and concerns. I think Stillpoint, Iike many other businesses

Disappointed overall. The fees may be std., but the pill factory approach without spending enough time with a patient to really get a full assessment of the person/situation is not helpful and doesn't inspire confidence. I plan to look elsewhere after a few months of ineffectual treatment, little room to talk through options, and a coldly clinical manner of engagement.

An office administrator there, Katy, really went to bat for me. My pharmacy was screwing me around about getting my medicine and she made the effort to get it resolved and get me my medicine. My mental health has suffered through the years and at some point you just get so tired of trying to deal with insurance and pharmacy b.s. Katy was just really willing to take it off of me. If you have had the mental issues I have had, you know what I mean, when someone steps in to take a little of the weight off, it is just SO helpful it makes you cry. Thanks Katy!

I have been a patient at Stillpoint for well over 7 years. I've recommended them to many friends and family members throughout the years. Never had any issues. I received a voice message from Kim @ Stillpoint in June 2020 regarding 2 office visits in 2019 that were never paid by my insurance company. I was told that the insurance company needed to verify some information. I called my insurance company and was told that I needed to verify if I had other medical insurance. I told them that I didn't and gave them the dates Stillpoint said they weren't paid. I was advised by the insurance company
