What is DPC?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model where you pay a simple, flat monthly fee for comprehensive, personalized care. This approach gives you expanded access to your doctor and healthcare team—including longer visits, same- or next-day appointments, and direct communication—without the interference of insurance companies.

What are the benefits of DPC?

At Divinely Restored Health & Wellness, your health has always come first. Now, we’re bringing it even closer to the heart of everything we do. Direct Primary Care allows us to spend more time listening, understanding, and partnering with you on your health journey. No rushed visits. No surprise bills. Just a stronger relationship built on trust and accessibility.

How much does membership cost?

Our membership fees are designed to be affordable and transparent. Pricing details are available on our website or by speaking with our team. We also offer discounts for families who join together.

What’s included in my membership?

Your monthly membership includes:
✔ In-office & virtual visits
✔ Longer, unrushed appointments
✔ Same-day or next-day scheduling for urgent needs
✔ Expanded communication with your doctor including after hours & weekends
✔ Chronic disease management
✔ Preventive care & wellness visits
✔ Basic in-office procedures & labs
✔ Quarterly wellness events

Do I still need insurance?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) isn’t health insurance—but it’s a powerful complement to it. We recommend maintaining insurance for things like specialist visits, hospital stays, or major medical events. Think of DPC as a membership for your everyday healthcare—like a gym membership, but for your health—covering routine and preventive care while insurance steps in for the unexpected. Many of our patients find that pairing DPC with a lower-cost, high-deductible insurance plan not only provides peace of mind, but also saves money in the long run.

What if I have a Medicare plan?

Medicare patients are welcome to join our DPC practice; however, they’ll need to sign a waiver acknowledging that neither they nor we will bill Medicare for services received here.

Medicare will still cover any laboratory testing, imaging, medications, or hospitalizations prescribed by our offices.

Can I join if I have HMO insurance?

Absolutely. At Divinely Restored Health & Wellness, we welcome everyone seeking a more personal, restorative healthcare experience. If you have HMO insurance, you can still become a member of our Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice.

However, it’s important to know that HMO plans require you to keep a Primary Care Provider (PCP) within their insurance network in order to get referrals for specialists, lab work, imaging, and other covered services. Since our practice is not in-network with insurance plans, we cannot serve as your official PCP for HMO purposes.

That said, many of our patients with HMO coverage choose to maintain their in-network PCP solely for insurance referrals, while relying on us for truly personalized, accessible, and relationship-centered care.

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for membership?

Yes! In most cases, HSA and FSA funds can be used for your DPC membership. We recommend checking with your specific plan to confirm your eligibility.

How do I sign up?

Signing up is easy! You can enroll online, call our office, or visit in person to set up your membership. We’re happy to answer any questions and walk you through the process.

Is this a good fit for me?

If you want a doctor who knows your story, takes time to listen, and is just a call or text away—then yes, this is for you. Whether you have ongoing health needs or just want easier access to care, DPC is designed with you in mind.

Is DPC the same as concierge medicine?

Great question! While they share some similarities, they’re not quite the same. Concierge practices typically charge higher monthly fees and still bill your insurance. In contrast, Direct Primary Care (DPC) is designed to be more affordable and completely independent of insurance.

At Divinely Restored, DPC means transparent pricing, no surprise bills, and direct access to care that’s personal, attentive, and rooted in trust—without the red tape.

How do I learn more?

We’d love to connect with you! Feel free to call or email our office with any questions. You’re also welcome to schedule a complimentary meet & greet with Dr. Beckles to explore how Direct Primary Care at Divinely Restored can support your health and wellness journey.

Why do people seek psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy (aka therapy) is a partnership between an individual or group of individuals and a professional who is trained to help people understand their thoughts and feelings and change their behaviors to align with what they want their lives to be about. People often consider therapy when they are struggling with their thoughts and feelings and/or when their behaviors are not in alignment with the kind of life they want to be living.

What happens during my initial session?

The therapist will ask questions and gather additional information about your primary concern(s). We invite you to come prepared with your own questions so that you and your therapist can determine if you are a good match for each other by the end of this initial session.

What happens after my initial session?

What psychological services are available through Divinely Restored Health & Wellness?

We offer individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy; clinical case management; workshops; and health & wellness activities.

Individual Psychotherapy:
Client and therapist work on a one-on-one basis to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship in which treatment goals and barriers are identified. Interventions are tailored to meet the needs of each client and to target barriers that get in the way of valued living. Individual psychotherapy is typically 53-60 minutes in length. Frequency of meeting will be determined by your treatment needs, in collaboration with your therapist.

Couples Psychotherapy:
Treatment for couples in an intimate relationship to target issues impacting the relationship. Couples sessions are typically 60 minutes in length.

Family Psychotherapy:
Treatment for the family that focuses on identifying and targeting specific issues affecting the family’s optimal health and functioning. Family sessions are 60-75 minutes in length depending on the number of family members.

Group Psychotherapy:
One or more therapists lead a group of six to 12 clients targeting specific issues including, but not limited to, grief and loss, anxiety, weight-concerns, and trauma. Group therapy can provide a network of support that individual psychotherapy does not. Group sessions are 60-90 minutes depending on the topic and size of the group.

Clinical Case Management:
Clients seeking psychotherapy services through our practice are screened for Social Determinants of Health to help identify barriers to optimal health. A clinical case manager helps clients obtain needed resources to improve the conditions in the environment that impacts health. The case manager may be your assigned therapist or another individual.

Workshops:
Our foundation offers a series of workshops and health and wellness activities (see description below) at no cost to our community. Workshop topics are selected with the needs of our community in mind. Upcoming workshops are listed on our social media pages.

Where do sessions occur?

You and your therapist will determine how you can best access therapy that is clinically appropriate for you. Sessions can occur on a private and secure virtual platform, in person, or via phone.

How do I get the most benefit from psychotherapy?

You and your therapist are responsible for developing and maintaining a safe and trusting working relationship. Therapy works best when you attend all of your sessions. Therapy often brings up difficult and painful thoughts and feelings. Individuals who are willing to learn how to open up to these unpleasant experiences, in partnership with their therapist, often begin to live more contented lives.

How do I know if therapy is working?

You and your therapist will develop tangible treatment goals to guide and evaluate your progress. Goals will be periodically reviewed and updated. Reaching your primary goal(s) is one of many important factors when deciding to end therapy.

What if I need psychotropic medication?

If appropriate, your therapist will refer you to a psychiatrist.

What if I’m experiencing an emergency?

Each client will develop a crisis and safety plan with their therapist at the start of their treatment. Therapists are available for mental health emergencies Monday – Friday 8 am – 5 pm by calling (562) 542-3600. Clients who are experiencing an immediate mental health crisis should call 911.
