In my own recent past as Vice-Chair of Medicine at Tampa Community Hospital; and, as a lead resident at Department of Medicine at East Tennessee State University, I saw there was a fairly large gap between the standard of mental care needed by patients and that which was typically delivered in terms of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology.

I have vast experience treating those with serious mental illness, sexual addiction, and generalized anxiety. People who seek out my services are often exasperated by dealing with providers who are not LGBT-friendly; do not take the time to get to know them or their concerns; and just do not care to listen to them. Clients I work with don't have those complaints, as that is simply not my style. With me, you'll know that I truly do care.

FAQ - Psychiatrist Gender
Does it matter what gender a psychiatrist is?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. While psychiatrists of all genders are equally qualified, the therapeutic relationship is central to effective care, and finding a provider with whom you feel comfortable is an essential part of the process.

What are the advantages of seeing a male psychiatrist?
For some individuals, working with a male psychiatrist may play an important role in building trust and ease within that relationship. Personal, cultural, or past experiences may shape this preference. Some people feel more comfortable discussing certain topics with a male provider, particularly if they’ve had positive experiences confiding in men in other areas of their lives. Others may seek out a male psychiatrist for support with issues that relate specifically to male identity—such as navigating societal expectations around masculinity, fatherhood, or addressing emotional expression in environments where vulnerability may be discouraged.

How to find a male psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by gender, making it easy to find male psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good fit for your needs.
