The doctors who provide our psychiatric care

At Center Clinics, every patient sees a highly-trained physician comfortable providing psychotherapy and personalized medication management. We do not employ lower-level providers like nurse practitioners or clinical social workers.

Our clinic does not accept insurance. We are out-of-network.

Our Approach to Whole-Person Psychiatry

Every Case Begins with Thorough Evaluation

We review all available records, conduct comprehensive psychiatric assessment, and often coordinate with other medical providers to ensure we understand the full picture. This evaluation may span multiple sessions.

We consider developmental history, family dynamics, academic performance, social relationships, and previous treatments.

We Build a Foundation of Mutual Understanding

From this foundation, we develop a treatment approach tailored to your specific situation. This may involve careful medication trials, addressing one variable at a time to understand what helps. It may involve coordination with specialists — therapists expert in specific conditions, neurologists, endocrinologists, or others whose expertise is relevant to your case.

Seemless Care Coordination

Mental health doesn't exist in isolation. Dr. Fu collaborates with therapists, counselors, HR, and your PCP to ensure everyone is aligned. When patients need resources beyond psychiatry — whether educational advocates, family therapists, or neuropsychological testing — we connect them with trusted specialists near you.

Complete Privacy & Discretion

For patients who value discretion, our small patient panel means you won't run into colleagues in the waiting room. We understand the concerns high-profile families have about confidentiality and treat privacy as seriously as clinical care.

The Personalized Difference at Center Clinics

“How a doctor’s office used to be.”

Traditional psychiatric practices see many patients in brief appointments, leaving little time for the kind of thorough evaluation and thoughtful treatment that complex cases require. My practice operates differently.

Therapy sessions of 60-90 minutes allow us to understand your situation fully, not just manage symptoms. Direct access means you can reach us when questions arise, not leave messages and wait for callbacks. Same-week appointments accommodate both pressing clinical needs and busy professional schedules.

As a psychiatrist — not a therapist or nurse practitioner — Dr. Fu can diagnose complex presentations, prescribe and monitor medications when indicated, and coordinate care with PCPs, neurologists, and other specialists. A physician trained in the full spectrum of psychiatry can distinguish between them.

The Patients We Serve at Center Clinics

Patients in high-stress or time-intensive jobs need flexible scheduling and responsive care.

Many patients haven’t found the right fit for their needs. We help patients connect with a provider that really understands their situation.

Many families face a situation where parents and their children have multiple diagnoses, or have responded poorly to previous treatment.

Folks changing their living situation often need a physician to coordinate care across time-zones or international boundaries.
