Frequently Asked Questions
How does the process of getting started work?
Reach out through the Send Message button on Therapy Finder to share a bit about what you’re looking for (press ‘Get Started’ button). I’ll give you a free 15-minute phone call to hear more about your needs and answer any questions.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule an initial consultation, and you’ll receive intake paperwork through the patient portal. During the consultation, we’ll review your medical and psychiatric history, complete a diagnostic evaluation, and—if needed—include a brief neurologic exam, questionnaires, or laboratory testing.
Follow-up visits focus on discussing treatment options and creating a plan that works for you.
A doctor–patient relationship is established only after both you and I have agreed to move forward together.
Where is your practice located?
I am licensed to practice medicine in Oregon. My office is located at: 305 SW C Avenue, Suite 1, Corvallis, OR 97333. I see patients both in person and via telehealth. Initial consultations are held in person whenever possible, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Do you accept health insurance?
I am currently out of network with all insurance companies.
If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill (receipt) that you may submit for potential reimbursement.
Coverage varies widely between plans, so I recommend contacting your insurance company in advance to learn about your out-of-network benefits.

Can I see you if I already have a therapist?
Yes. Many of my patients meet weekly with a therapist while seeing me for medication management and psychiatric consultation. With your permission, I’m happy to coordinate with your therapist or other providers to ensure comprehensive, collaborative care.
Can I do therapy-only with Dr. Fanning?
My approach to psychiatry is psychotherapeutic in nature—involving meaningful dialogue and reflection, even when we are not meeting for weekly therapy. Many of my patients also work with a dedicated therapist for ongoing sessions while I provide psychiatric evaluation, treatment planning, and medication management. This combination offers a balanced and comprehensive approach to care.
Do you prescribe controlled substances?
I may prescribe controlled substances (such as stimulants or benzodiazepines) in select situations for established patients when clinically appropriate. These medications are highly regulated due to potential risks. When prescribing controlled substances, we will:
Regularly review risks and benefits
Comply with required face-to-face visits
Work toward the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary
Develop plans for eventual discontinuation when appropriate
