Three short steps
1. Submit the inquiry form
Click the button at the bottom of this page to open the secure inquiry form. Share your contact information and a sentence or two about what's bringing you in — the whole form takes about a minute.
2. Choose how to schedule
After you submit, you'll have two options:
Pick an available 15-minute time slot from Dr. Rai's calendar right after submitting. You'll get a confirmation email with the call-in details and a few notes on what to expect — no preparation needed on your end.
Submit without booking, and Dr. Rai will personally reach out within 1–2 business days to find a time that works. Useful if none of the immediate slots fit your schedule.
3. Have the call
Dr. Rai will call you at the scheduled time. The conversation is brief, informal, and not a clinical appointment — you won't be expected to share detailed personal history or complete questionnaires. If it's a good fit, he'll explain the next steps for the full intake form and your 90-to-120-minute initial evaluation. If it isn't a fit, he'll do his best to point you toward a colleague who may be a better match.
If you are or believe you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency — including suicidal or homicidal thinking, severe side effects to medication, or any other urgent or time-sensitive matter that requires an immediate response — please do not use this form. Inquiry calls are scheduled days in advance and are not a substitute for emergency care.

Before you submit
This practice serves adults 18 and older on a private-pay (out-of-network) basis. It's not the right setting for opioid use disorder requiring buprenorphine or methadone, acute detox, severe bipolar I or schizophrenia, active eating disorders, dementia, autism evaluations, or court-ordered treatment. If any of these is your situation, the inquiry call is still the right place to ask — Dr. Rai will help point you toward a colleague who's the right fit.
If you're in crisis right now, please call or text 988 or 911 instead of using this form.

This call does not create a treatment relationship.
The inquiry call is a brief, informational fit conversation — not a clinical appointment or medical consultation. By submitting the form and participating in the call, you understand and agree:
- No physician–patient relationship is created with Dr. Rai or Dharma Psychiatry PLLC until you have completed the full new-patient intake, been formally accepted as a patient, and completed your initial psychiatric evaluation.
- No medical advice, diagnosis, or prescription will be provided on this call. Dr. Rai will not comment on or adjust your existing medications.
- Acceptance as a patient is not guaranteed. Dr. Rai may decline for any reason consistent with applicable law and ethics; this is not abandonment or refusal to treat an emergency.
- If you have an existing mental health or medical provider, continue their care. For emergencies, see the notice above — do not rely on this form.
