Let's Connect (510) 272-7095

Together with my team of experienced and compassionate mental health providers, I offer personalized, comprehensive treatment for ADHD, anxiety, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder and other mental health concerns. I conduct thorough psychiatric assessments with a highly trained NP or PA, and our small team approach will ensure you always have great access to care with an expert who really knows and cares about you as an individual. While I specialize in psychiatric assessments and medications, I also work closely with highly trained therapists and provide referrals for individual and couples therapy if needed.

As a board-certified psychiatrist for almost 30 years, I have written books on our national mental health system and appeared several times on CNN Live with Don Lemon as an recognized mental health expert. I understand the barriers people face when seeking help, and strive to collaborate with individuals to find solutions that work for their unique needs.

At Well Coast Medical, our team aims to make care convenient and accessible by offering in-person and online appointments throughout California. You can choose to see your providers in-person in a tranquil professional office or from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Take the next step and schedule online today to get the care you need and deserve!
