My philosophy is simple: listen first, treat second. I believe mental health care works best when you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take part in your own treatment decisions. I take the time to explain diagnoses, explore how medications work, and ensure you leave sessions feeling informed, not rushed.

You’re in that weird space where you’re technically an adult, but no one gave you a manual. Maybe you're in college, maybe you're figuring out what’s next—or maybe you're just trying to stay afloat. You're overthinking everything, dealing with anxiety, feeling behind, disconnected, or unsure where you're headed. Social media makes it look like everyone else has it together, and you're just... stuck. You want to feel more in control, less overwhelmed, and like you actually know who you are and what you’re doing. But instead, you’re exhausted, self-critical, and kind of lost.

FAQ - About Teenage Psychiatry
What does an adolescent psychiatrist do?
Adolescent psychiatrists specialize in the mental health care of pre-teens and teens. Unlike general child psychiatrists who may treat anyone under 18 years old, adolescent psychiatrists often concentrate on youth ages 12 to 18 and are well-versed in the social, cognitive, and emotional issues that specifically affect teenagers. They focus on the unique challenges that arise during these years, such as academic pressure, social and peer dynamics, identity development, family conflict, and increasing emotional and behavioral expectations. In addition, adolescence is often the time when mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, or substance use concerns first emerge or intensify.
Psychiatrists who work with teens are trained to address these issues and often use a combination of talk therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and, when indicated, medication to treat these specific conditions. Psychiatrists with expertise in this area are also skilled at engaging teenagers in the therapeutic process and may have particular expertise in balancing the involvement of the teen's family in treatment in a way that balances the teen’s needs and growing independence. They also frequently coordinate care with schools, therapists, and other providers to ensure teens receive well-rounded support.

How to find a psychiatrist for teens?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by age-focus, making it easy to find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who work with teens. 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 psychiatrist aligns with your teen's needs and is a good fit.
