I have been practicing psychiatry for over 20 years. I have extensive experience with schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depression, Refractory Major Depression, Bipolar Mood D/O, Borderline Personality D/O, Addiction, and Dual Diagnosis. My ideal patient is just one who keeps trying. We will work with you to find the right thing. All I ask is that even on those days you feel like you’re done trying or you want to give up, that you come anyway. That’s when we need to see you the most. Here at TACtelepsychiatry.com we work together until you feel better.
I specialize in medication management done from the comfort of your own home. All visits are virtual via telepsychiatry. I do not give up, no matter how many meds we have to try. Based on experience I have pretty good luck finding the right meds. Also, if you come in and tell me you had some weird side effect no one has ever heard of I believe you and act.
This is a safe space. You’re in the comfort of your own home. No judgement is passed. The goal is simply to help you get better. We decide what better is, together. And we decide our treatment strategies together. Education and various med options are always provided. Fees are $300 for a 1 hour Intake and $150 for 1/2 hour follow up sessions.

The only insurance I take right now is Optum and Aetna. Everything else is cash pay. There's a company under Aetna, One Health. Or First Health that's been sending me clients. If we can figure out how this insurance works I may be able to help you. I will need member ID, number on back of insurance.

Almost everyone I see has trauma. We do not open this up wide and just go mucking about. We figure out which trauma is making an impact right now. Then try to understand it and find ways of dealing with it that will result in quick recovery. Deeper psychological trauma is not dealt with until there are some coping strategies in place first.

I specialize primarily in medication management and brief solution focused therapy. Occasionally some CBT is taught. And Motivational Interviewing is used with addiction and trouble making change. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is often used to develop insight and make lasting change,
