Part of Integrative Psychiatry
Care begins with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, medical history, medications, sleep, stress levels, and life circumstances. Medication is an important and often necessary part of treatment but only prescribed with a full understanding of the clinical picture.
Part of Integrative Psychiatry
Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, brain fog, and sleep disruption rarely exist in isolation and can be influenced by many factors. When appropriate, possible contributors such as hormonal changes, thyroid function, iron levels, vitamin deficiencies, and overall health status are evaluated.
Part of Integrative Psychiatry
When pharmacotherapy is indicated, medications are selected carefully with shared decision making. Adjustments are made collaboratively, with ongoing follow-up to ensure both safety and progress.
Controlled substances such as stimulants or benzodiazepines are not offered via telehealth. Patients in New York who are able to be seen in person are eligible for clinically appropriate controlled substance prescriptions, subject to thorough evaluation and ongoing monitoring.
Part of Integrative Psychiatry
Care begins with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, medical history, medications, sleep, stress levels, and life circumstances. In addition to medication, some patients may benefit from targeted supplementation, sleep optimization strategies, stress management techniques, and collaboration with therapists or other specialists.
Part of Hormone Health & Women’s Psychiatry
PMDD and premenstrual exacerbation can look similar but require different clinical reasoning. Daily symptom tracking across at least two menstrual cycles may help clarify whether symptoms are confined to the luteal phase or represent worsening of an underlying disorder.
Part of Hormone Health & Women’s Psychiatry
Hormonal changes across the reproductive lifespan can affect mood, anxiety, sleep, attention, and cognition. For appropriate candidates, FDA-approved menopausal hormone therapy may be considered as one part of care. Pellet therapy is not offered.
