My Services

Starting psychiatric care can bring questions, uncertainty, or relief that you are finally taking this step. Whether you know what you need help with or are still trying to make sense of what you are experiencing, we can begin there. At Affective Mind Psychiatry, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and personalized medication management for adults throughout New York through virtual appointments.

Your experiences, preferences, and goals are at the center of our work together. I take time to understand what has brought you to care, how your symptoms affect your daily life, and what you would like to feel differently. We consider your emotional well-being alongside your physical health, sleep, relationships, responsibilities, and current stressors. I explain my recommendations, welcome your questions, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs.

Psychiatric evaluations: Explore your concerns, review your history, clarify possible diagnoses, and discuss appropriate next steps. Medication management: Discuss medication options, benefits, side effects, and alternatives, with follow-up to assess your response. Care coordination: With your permission, collaborate with your therapist, primary care provider, or other clinicians and discuss referrals when appropriate.

Your initial evaluation typically lasts approximately 60 minutes. We discuss your current symptoms, medical and mental health history, previous treatment, medications, daily functioning, and goals. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or know exactly how to describe what you are experiencing. Before we finish, we review my initial impressions and discuss treatment recommendations or any further assessment that may be helpful.

Complete your intake forms, gather your medication information, and confirm insurance or payment details. For your virtual visit, choose a quiet, private space and check your internet connection, camera, and microphone. You must be physically located in New York during the appointment.

Follow-up appointments focus on how you are feeling and functioning, medication benefits or side effects, and any new concerns. We adjust the plan together as needed. Appointment frequency depends on your treatment needs and response.
