While my primary job is to be your legal (and ethical) pharmaceutical dealer, not everyone needs medication.

Yes, if they are clinically indicated and only to treat mental health diagnoses. I do not prescribe any narcotics. Our friendly neighborhood federal government has certain guidelines that we have to follow, but I can definitely treat conditions like ADHD, that may require stimulant medications.
Please note the current prescribing guidelines at the federal level for stimulant medications in a telepsychiatry setting may change, but it’s not expected to affect existing provider-patient relationships. If this is a concern for you we can get into more detail during the initial 15-minute getting started session.

Yes, there are a few things I can’t treat in this practice. Conditions like uncontrolled schizophrenia or bipolar, acute suicidal thoughts, or anyone considered to be at risk of harming themselves or others require more direct, in-person clinical care than my mostly online model offers. My job is to give you the very best treatment I can, and to be upfront and honest with you when I can’t. Schedule a 15-minute get-to-know-you call today to see if I can help!

I realized I may be biased, so I asked my tween-aged son this question. He said “eh, I guess?”. I’ve decided he might not be a reliable source, so let’s chat and you can decide for yourself.

Yes, of course. Not sure why that was a question.
