My ideal client is a motivated adult, adolescent or child with mood, anxiety, trauma, stress or attention concerns who suspects their symptoms reflect biology, lifestyle, and meaning—not just a diagnosis. They need collaborative care, deep assessment, and root-cause treatment. Their goals are emotional regulation, clarity, and sustainable vitality. They want to feel like themselves again, use meds thoughtfully, and build resilience through nutrition, sleep, relationships, and purpose.

You shouldn’t have to guess why you feel "off." Many of the women I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. They are often stuck in a cycle of questioning their own experiences—wondering if their struggles are "just stress" or something deeper involving hormone shifts and mental health. It can be incredibly isolating to seek answers only to feel dismissed or rushed through an appointment.

I see children, adolescents, and adults struggling with ADHD, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and treatment-resistant conditions. Many of my patients in Cincinnati, OH and Northern Kentucky have not found relief elsewhere and need a psychiatrist who truly takes time to understand their history. I've treated patients since childhood who now bring their own children to me — that long-term relationship is at the heart of my practice. I provide psychiatric medication management via telehealth, coordinating closely with on-staff therapists.

FAQ - Testing and Evaluation Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with diagnostic testing and evaluation?
What distinguishes psychiatrists from many other mental health professionals is their training and expertise in conducting comprehensive psychiatric testing and evaluations. These evaluations are essential for accurately diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions. A psychiatric evaluation typically includes an assessment of a client's current symptoms, mental health history, medical background, family history, and psychosocial factors. Psychiatric testing and evaluation can help clarify diagnoses (e.g., by helping distinguish symptoms of conditions that may appear similarly, such as ADHD and anxiety), guide decisions about appropriate levels of care, and inform medication or therapy interventions. As part of the evaluation process, psychiatrists will often also explore how lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, relationships, and daily routines affect a client's emotional well-being.

How do psychiatrists use evaluation results to guide treatment planning?
Based on the results of their evaluation, psychiatrists work with clients to develop a treatment plan, which may include therapy, lifestyle changes, and psychiatric medication. For younger clients, such as children undergoing testing for learning disabilities, the results may help inform school-based interventions. In other cases, evaluations can help ensure that the psychiatrist prescribes a correct medication based on a clients's symptoms. Testing and evaluation may also help inform what psychotherapy treatment interventions may be most useful, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) if a patient is evaluated and diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a client is diagnosed with depression.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in diagnostic testing and evaluation?
The Psychology Today directory is a helpful resource for finding psychiatrists who specialize in diagnostic testing and evaluations. Using the platform's filters, clients can search for professionals with experience in specific conditions such as mood disorders, trauma, neurodevelopmental conditions, cognitive decline, and other conditions. Clients may also filter by factors such as provider identity, insurance accepted, or availability for telehealth. When reaching out to a psychiatrist, it can be helpful to ask about their experience with evaluation and diagnosis for your concerns, the types of assessments they offer, and how they typically structure treatment planning based on their findings.
