What Our Psychiatry Services Include
We provide full spectrum psychiatric care, starting with a comprehensive evaluation and continuing through ongoing treatment. Our services include:
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations for new patients
- Diagnosis and treatment planning for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other conditions
- Ongoing medication management and follow up care
- Coordination with your therapist or primary care provider, with your consent
- Referral for additional services, such as ADHD testing, pharmacogenomic testing, or advanced treatment options like Spravato and ketamine therapy
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is a full psychiatric evaluation. We review your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, prior treatment, and current medications, including what has worked for you before and what has not. From there, we build a treatment plan tailored to your situation, which may include medication management, therapy referral, additional testing, or a combination of approaches.
Follow up visits run shorter and focus on how you are responding to treatment, so we can adjust your plan as needed. We prioritize keeping you with a consistent provider, since continuity of care leads to better outcomes than starting fresh with a new clinician at every appointment.
In Person Care in Lathrop
We welcomes patients who prefer face to face psychiatric care. Many patients value meeting their provider in person, especially for a first evaluation, and we offer that option at our convenient Lathrop location, serving the greater San Joaquin County community.

Telepsychiatry Across California
For patients located elsewhere in California, or who simply prefer the convenience of not traveling, we offer telepsychiatry appointments through a secure, HIPAA compliant video platform. Telepsychiatry includes the same evaluation process, the same provider continuity, and the same clinical standard as an in person visit.
Current federal telehealth policy continues to support this model of care. As of 2026, the DEA and HHS have extended flexibilities that allow prescribing of controlled substances via telehealth, including for many psychiatric medications, without requiring an initial in person evaluation in most cases. This means eligible patients can begin psychiatric treatment, including medication management, entirely through telepsychiatry when clinically appropriate.

FAQ's
Do I need a referral to schedule a psychiatric evaluation?
No referral is required. You can schedule directly with our office for an initial evaluation.
Is telepsychiatry as effective as in person care?
Telepsychiatry is a clinically recognized way to deliver psychiatric evaluation and medication management, and many patients find it just as effective and more convenient than traveling to an office. Some situations may call for in person visits, which we discuss with you directly.
Can a telepsychiatry appointment include medication prescriptions?
Yes. Current federal telehealth policy allows many psychiatric medications, including certain controlled substances, to be prescribed through telepsychiatry without requiring a prior in person visit. We confirm what applies to your specific situation during your evaluation.
How long is the first appointment?
Initial evaluations run longer than follow up visits to allow time for a full history and treatment planning. Exact timing is confirmed when you schedule.
