Are you feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, unfocused, irritable, or stuck, and wonder if medication, therapy, or both could help you feel better? At TellMel Mental Health, most of our clients are doing their very best to function at home, work, school, or in their relationships but end up feeling sad, anxious, and overwhelmed. Our first step is meeting our client where they are, discovering where they want to be, and what has and has not worked for them in the past. We work together to build a clear plan that is tailored specifically for you and the steps needed to get you where you want to be.

I’m Dr. Marie Dona, a triple board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in helping high-functioning adults, women, and mothers who feel overwhelmed despite appearing “put together” on the outside. Many of my patients are navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, depression, or major life transition related to career, relationships, pregnancy, or postpartum changes. You may find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling on edge, struggling to focus, or holding yourself to very high standards while quietly feeling exhausted. I work with individuals who are used to pushing through but are ready for more clarity, balance, and support.

FAQ - About Child Psychiatry
What does a child psychiatrist do?
Child psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and adolescents. They support children and their families in navigating a wide range of challenges related to growing up, including academic difficulties, peer-related stress or bullying, family transitions such as divorce, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Treatment often includes age-appropriate therapy and, when appropriate, medication. Child psychiatrists also frequently collaborate with other professionals involved in a child’s care—such as therapists, pediatricians, teachers, or occupational therapists—to ensure a coordinated approach. They may also conduct developmental or psychological assessments to clarify diagnoses or determine the most effective treatment plan for a child. While child psychiatrists may see patients of any age under 18, many focus on specific developmental stages, such as the toddler years or adolescence.

How to find a child psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with children. The platform also offers additional filters to help you find a provider with relevant specialty areas who sees patients in your child’s age group. Each provider profile includes detailed information such as therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good match for your child’s needs and developmental stage.
