FAQs

What age patients do you see?

I am an adult psychiatrist and may be able to see adolescents on a case-by-case basis.

Do you do therapy?

Yes, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Logotherapy, and Motivational Interviewing as part of mental health treatment. I see patients for both medication management as well as therapy. 

Some people with milder symptoms of depression/anxiety/OCD/addiction/PTSD only need therapy to get back on track. However, some people with more severe symptoms will not be able to benefit from therapy until medications have adequately reduced the severity of their symptoms.

In addition to expertise in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, eating disorders, and substance abuse, I have a special interest in reproductive psychiatry, brain gut disorders, and healthcare professionals. 

Do you take insurance?

No, I am out of network but use Reimbursify to help you submit claims for reimbursement.

As often as needed. Typically, you can expect to follow up in one month after a medication change. Patients going through crisis or major stressors may need to be seen more frequently. Patients undergoing more intensive psychotherapy may need to be seen weekly for a period of time. Patients who are overall stable can follow up every 3 months. Patients should always reach out for sooner follow up with any new concerns or worsening symptoms.
