Telepsychiatric Appointments
At Neighborhood Mental Health, we offer convenient video visits while providing quality psychiatric care. We establish relationships with our patients virtually while providing all of the essential services of a standard psychiatric practice. We diagnose common psychiatric conditions and offer a variety of treatments, including medication management. Your provider may provide elements of psychotherapy within appointments and prescribe medication as deemed appropriate by the patient and provider. Typically, initial visits will last about an hour and follow-up visits will take anywhere from twenty to thirty minutes. During visits, we will work together to establish which issues to focus on and what methods of treatment will be best for you. We look forward to seeing you!

At this time, we do not prescribe controlled substances. This includes:
Stimulants for ADHD
Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, Concerta, etc.
Benzodiazepines for anxiety
Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), Valium (diazepam), etc.
Z-drugs for sleep
Ambien (zolpidem), Lunesta (eszopiclone), Sonata (zaleplon), etc.
Miscellaneous
Ketamine, Lyrica, etc.
We believe there are other first-line evidence-based treatments to treat anxiety and sleep superior to the benzodiazepines and z-drugs listed above. Stimulants, however, are the first-line treatment for ADHD. Unfortunately, we cannot offer these at this time. We can treat ADHD to a degree with other medications and treatments, but just know these are not considered to be the most effective for primary ADHD.
