AmeriHealth Psychiatrists in Louisiana

I see patients 6 years through adulthood who may have depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, panic disorder, OCD, autism, or Bipolar Disorder. I see the patient as an individual and not just a diagnosis. I think that treating a person's mental health can overflow into all areas of their lives. I believe that mental health is the cornerstone to a person's well-being and can impact jobs, education, and relationships.
I accept most major medical insurance providers and Medicaid.
