WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

Psychiatric Evaluation & Medication Management for treatment of Depression, Bipolar Disorder,  Anxiety, OCD, ADHD & Autism for ages 16+. 

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Ketamine Therapy will be available in January 2026 at our White Plains, NY location. 


ARE APPOINTMENTS VIA TELEHEALTH (ONLINE)  or IN-PERSON?

Most visits are via Telehealth (online) with the option to meet in-person at our  White Plains office. 
 

DO YOU OFFER TALK THERAPY (PSYCHOTHERAPY)?

Not at this time. Although I strongly encourage  - and in some cases insists! - that patients engage in psychotherapy as per the American Psychological Association (APA), National Institute of Health (NIH) and Veteran's Affairs strongly recommend the use of combination therapy for the treatment of depression and anxiety. 

 
DO YOU PRESCRIBE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES LIKE XANAX or ADDERALL?

On a very limited basis, and only IF clinically indicated and after alternative options (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) have been completely exhausted. 
 
 
***** For controlled substances, you may also be required to:

                        Submit Letter of Medical Clearance from your PCP (Primary Care Provider) 

                                                                   &

                         Schedule in-person visits at our White Plains office at least once every 3 months. 
 
 
WHAT IS YOUR TREATMENT PROCESS AND/OR PHILOSOPHY?

The journey towards mental wellness often isn't linear and involves many aspects. Medication is just ONE of the many options available, and while it can certainly help, it's not a  "magic pill." (Though if you know of a "magic pill" do let me know!)

My role is to guide you towards current evidence-based treatment options. At our visits, we will discuss the risks and benefits of each medication and discuss how it can help you achieve your mental health goals. 

 
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING THE FIRST VISIT (INITIAL EVALUATION)?

The First Visit is a 50-minute appointment during which we may discuss the following:
 
-Symptoms
-Medical  & Psychiatric History
-Social & Family History
-Daily Routines - diet, exercise
-Any other information relevant to your treatment
 
WILL YOU PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS AFTER THE FIRST VISIT?
 
It depends. Clinical decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. 
 

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE FIRST VISIT? 

- Make sure you complete the consent forms & other intake forms PRIOR to your first appointment. Otherwise, we may have to reschedule.
