My practice serves adults across a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
You may be feeling constantly on edge, exhausted, or unable to fully relax, even when life looks “fine” from the outside. Anxiety may show up as racing thoughts, poor sleep, irritability, or a sense that your body never shuts off. Past experiences, including trauma or chronic stress, may continue to affect how safe or focused you feel day to day. Many of the people I work with are professionals, caregivers, or healthcare workers experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or emotional numbness after years of putting others first. You want relief, clarity, and a way to feel like yourself again without being judged or rushed.

FAQ - About Adult Psychiatry
What does an adult psychiatrist do?
Psychiatrists are medical professionals trained to diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medications as part of treatment. What differentiates psychiatrists from other types of mental health professionals is their ability to prescribe psychiatric medications. These medications can be a vital part of treatment for many individuals, helping to regulate mood, reduce anxiety, improve focus, or manage intrusive or distressing thoughts. Some adult psychiatric providers may also provide psychotherapy as part of treatment. When seeking care, it’s important to understand whether you’re looking for integrated therapy and medication management or primarily medication support.

While psychiatrists can treat individuals across the lifespan, adult psychiatrists specialize in working with individuals aged 18 and older. This distinction matters because the presentation and symptoms of mental health conditions can differ between adults and younger populations. For instance, disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia can present differently in adulthood and may require different diagnostic criteria or clinical judgment compared to children and adolescents. Adult psychiatrists are trained to assess these conditions in the context of adulthood and the co-occurring issues adults may face, such as medical conditions, occupational stress, or relationship difficulties. Treatment approaches may also vary depending on a psychiatrist’s age specialty. For example, adults may benefit from different types of medications or therapeutic approaches than those used with younger clients.

How do I know if a psychiatrist is the right fit for me?
When searching for a psychiatrist, consider their areas of expertise and the populations they typically treat. Some psychiatrists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. If a provider’s focus includes school-related behavioral issues or developmental conditions, they may primarily work with children or adolescents and not be the best fit for adult clients. To ensure a good fit, discuss the psychiatrist’s typical session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether their care aligns with your current needs—especially if you are also working with a therapist or other mental health professionals. Understanding how they incorporate social context, medical history, and adult life circumstances into treatment planning can also help gauge compatibility.

How do I find a psychiatrist?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and preferences.
