Hi, I'm Jami Woods D.Ph. M.D. ABPN, ASCP I'm a Pharmacist, Medical Doctor, Board Certified Adult Psychiatrist, & Subspeciality Certified Psychopharmacologist. I provide telehealth psychopharmacology for adults with bipolar, depressive & anxiety disorders, & adult ADHD. ► Note: I'm about "enabling" my patients rather than "disabling" my patients. ► I'm in network for Anthem Blue Cross, Blue California, Aetna PPO, Medicare Part B, Cigna, United/Optum & sliding scales for Cash patients. ► I'm NOT an IEHP or Kaiser doctor. ► Finally, as a transgender psychiatrist myself, I'm committed to affirming care for trans & LGBTQ+ individuals.
I will treat you with as few medications as I can. The best decisions are collaborative decisions where you have a voice in treatment decisions & I will give you as many choices as I can. You will get a full idea of my thinking process. I will ask you "did you feel heard today?" As a pharmacist, you'll get the most affordable meds. Safe Space Trained.
I am grateful to be able to connect with adults 18 and over throughout California via safe, secure telepsychiatry sessions. If you are ready for a board certified adult psychiatrist who practices joyful and skillful psychiatry, then please shoot me an email.

People think that happiness is the opposite of depression. I think that the opposite of depression is the absence of depression. It's like pregnancy; either you are or you're not. Happiness lies along a different road. I will treat depressive symptoms but happiness will be your responsibility, as I do not have a "happy pill". Let us dry the tears and write a happiness plan together!
