Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates, MD

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private-practice psychiatric group located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, offering both in-person and telehealth appointments for adults, children, adolescents, and couples. The practice takes its name from Rittenhouse Square, the historic neighborhood in Center City Philadelphia where its primary office is situated. Telehealth services extend the practice's reach beyond Pennsylvania to patients in California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and additional states where individual providers hold licensure. Several therapists are credentialed through PsyPACT, which allows them to provide psychotherapy to patients in most U.S. states. The group encompasses the full range of outpatient psychiatric disciplines: board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who provide comprehensive evaluations and medication management, licensed psychologists who conduct neuropsychological and psychoeducational testing alongside therapy, and licensed clinical social workers and professional counselors who provide evidence-based psychotherapy. This multi-disciplinary structure means that a patient who needs both medication and structured cognitive-behavioral therapy — a common scenario for ADHD, OCD, or anxiety — can receive coordinated care within the same group practice rather than managing referrals across separate providers. Rittenhouse operates entirely on a fee-for-service, out-of-network basis. It does not participate in insurance networks and does not bill payers directly. Instead, patients pay at the time of service and receive detailed invoices and superbills that they can submit to their insurance carriers for out-of-network reimbursement. For patients with comprehensive PPO-type plans, reimbursement rates of 50–80% are not uncommon, effectively bringing per-session costs into a range competitive with in-network psychiatric care. Patients without meaningful out-of-network benefits bear the full out-of-pocket cost. New patient appointments are typically available within one to two weeks — a materially faster timeline than most in-network psychiatric practices in the Philadelphia region, where waitlists of two to four months are common. The practice accepts patients seeking treatment for ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, personality disorders, and other psychiatric conditions across the full lifespan.
