How it works

Four steps, start to finish

1

Pick a time

Choose a slot that works for you and submit it. Booking is a request — we confirm it, usually the same day. No referral needed.

2

First appointment

About 60 minutes by video. Your history, current symptoms, what you have already tried, medical background, and what matters to you.

3

A plan you can read

You leave with a treatment plan, prescriptions and instructions if needed, therapy homework, and resources with real steps to get help if needed.

4

Follow-up

Around 30 minutes. After two weeks to check on side effects, what is going right, and if additional support is needed. We will be checking up on you every few days through text and email. Between appointments, you are not alone.

What we treat

Conditions we work with

If you are not sure whether your situation is treatable, in the notes section in booking, you can ask if your situation is treatable and I will get back to you ASAP. No more waiting games just to find out if you can be helped.

Anxiety and depression

Persistent worry, low mood, lost energy, reduced motivation. Medication managed carefully, with follow-ups that actually happen.

Trauma and PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder, and experiences that you’ve never worked through. Prescribing that works in tandem with therapy. Removing roadblocks in real time to allow you to enjoy life to the fullest.

Sleep and insomnia

Our minds have a difficult time functioning properly without the right type of rest. Let’s get you back into a routine that gives you rest from stress that is necessary.

ADHD

Non controlled options that work wonders, and for treatment resistant special cases, controlled options.

Mood fluctuations

Cycles that are hard to name. Part of the work is establishing a baseline you can trust.

Second opinions

A diagnosis you do not believe, or a plan that never quite worked. We start from your history, not the label.

Your provider

David Fairbanks, PMHNP-BC

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified.

David has spent 22 years in behavioral health serving human beings who sometimes just needed someone to listen, laugh with, or to believe that they were experiencing things that others did not understand. Going the extra mile above and beyond is David’s trademark. As a registered nurse, David worked in psychiatric hospitals, emergency rooms, crisis care, detoxification, and behavioral health leadership. He now holds a master’s degree in nursing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and board certified through the ANCC.

He built Firefly Global to fix what was broken in our mental healthcare system. What he kept seeing, over two decades, was patients falling through the cracks; healthcare workers on autopilot, and a lack of “treatments that actually work”.

You should never have to guess what is happening with your own care. You will hear the clinical reasoning, be educated on alternatives, and how progress will be measured moving forward.

Small on purpose. Not a platform, not a directory, not a rotating panel of whoever is available.

The same provider every time

Your history is held by one person, not reconstructed at each visit.

Deliberate prescribing

Adjustments come with a rationale. Side effects are treated as seriously as symptom improvement.

Evenings and weekends

Care that fits around work and school, rather than assuming you can take a weekday morning off.

Straight about cost

The full price is published on this page before you book, and you receive a written estimate before anything is charged.

Fees and payment

What it costs, before you commit.

Psychiatric care is expensive enough without having to guess. These are the full prices, published.

First appointment · 60 minutes

Follow-up · 30 minutes

Ongoing medication management. What is working, what is not, side effects, and any adjustment — with the reasoning explained.

Insurance and payment

Firefly Global is in network with Aetna, Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross of California and Curative. Bring your member ID to your first appointment and the practice verifies your benefits beforehand.

Questions about your plan? Call or text 909-203-3184.

Paying directly

Prefer to keep it simple? Self-pay is welcome at the published prices, payment due at the time of service.

Written estimate

Before your first appointment you receive a written Good Faith Estimate, as required by federal law for self-pay patients. Nothing is charged that was not estimated.

Receipts and cancellations

Every visit comes with an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurer. Please give at least 24 hours’ notice to change or cancel an appointment.

Questions

What people ask us first

What does it cost?

The first appointment is $150 for 60 minutes — a time-limited launch price, normally $250. Follow-ups are $120 for 30 minutes, normally $150. You are given a written Good Faith Estimate before your first appointment, so the figure is confirmed before anything is charged.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly. If your therapist or doctor has suggested a psychiatric opinion, that is useful context to bring, but nothing needs to be arranged beforehand.

How soon can I be seen?

Appointments are available Monday to Friday in the evening and throughout the weekend. Submit a time and we confirm it, usually the same day.

Will I get medication at the first appointment?

Often, yes — when the picture is clear enough to prescribe safely. Where more information is needed, or where something needs checking first, a prescription may wait until the next appointment. Either way you will be told why.

Is it video only?

Most appointments are secure HIPAA compliant video telehealth. In rare circumstances where controlled medications need prescribed for ADHD, then an in-person visit will be required.

Do you take insurance?

Yes. Firefly Global accepts Aetna, Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross of California and Curative. Bring your member ID to your first appointment and the practice verifies your benefits before you are seen. If you would rather not use insurance, self-pay is still available at the published prices.

Do you see teenagers?

Yes. Care for adolescents includes appropriate coordination with parents or guardians, while keeping clinical confidentiality where it applies.

What about controlled substances?

These are prescribed only in limited circumstances, with careful documentation and monitoring. For controlled medications prescribed for ADHD, an in-person visit is required. That is discussed openly at your evaluation so you know what to expect.

Do you do therapy, or only medication?

Both. Medication management is the core, and talking approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can be part of your care.

What if I need to move an appointment?

Please give at least 24 hours’ notice. Confirmation and reminder messages make it straightforward to change a time.
