We typically see children and teens from 18 months up to 18 years. If your child is outside this range, reach out—we can usually point you to the right resource.

Yes. Both the single‑visit consults and follow-up appointments can happen over secure video if you’re in a state where Dr. Joy is licensed – CA, MN, OR and WA.

Most consult slots open within 1–2 weeks. Sprout Start launches within 2–3 weeks once your intake forms are complete.

We operate as an out‑of‑network specialty practice. Many families use HSA/FSA funds or submit superbills to private insurance for possible reimbursement. 

For Sprout Start’s Gut Reset and Energy Boost focuses, one optional functional lab test is included, with a confirmed total cost of up to $400 USD. Other lab costs are separate and paid by insurance or cash pay. We’ll go over costs with you before anything is ordered.

You can transition into one of our ongoing-care pathways, Thrive Together or Flourish, depending on what fits your child best, or schedule follow‑up visits à la carte—whatever level of support fits best.

Absolutely. We dig deeper into co‑occurring issues such as sleep, nutrition, gut health, and executive function, then build a comprehensive care plan that complements existing therapies.
