Treatment
I treat most psychiatric conditions. Some require medications, others psychotherapy, others both. Reach out if you have questions about a specific condition.
Languages
English
Portuguese
Limitations
Age Range
I see patients 18 years old and above.
Unfortunately, due to Medicare rules, I cannot accept patients with Medicare.
Specific Medications
I do not prescribe controlled substances (e.g. stimulants for treatment of ADHD, benzodiazepines, certain sleep aids, among others). This is in compliance with federal laws regarding telemedicine services (Ryan Haight Act).
If you need a controlled substance to treat your condition, I can refer you to a psychiatrist who can provide in-person treatment, or provide recommendations to your primary care physician, in case they feel comfortable prescribing that type of medication.
Fees charged are for my time and expertise, not to obtain a specific prescription. I believe in partnering with people in their treatment and will do my best to provide with alternatives to these medications, if they are not indicated.
Services I don't provide

Emotional Support Animal Letters
Disability Evaluations

Assessments for ability to return to work, ability to own a weapon, ability to drive a certain vehicle, etc.
