Referrals

I welcome referrals from therapists, pediatricians, school professionals, and community providers. My goal is to offer specialized psychiatric care for adolescents and young adults across Central New York as a solo provider.

Appropriate Referrals

This practice is a good fit for patients who:

  • Are seeking outpatient psychiatric evaluation or medication management
  • Are stable enough for outpatient care
  • Are open to a collaborative, structured treatment approach
  • May benefit from combined therapeutic support and medication management
  • Have mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, depression, or emotional dysregulation

Not Appropriate for This Practice

This practice may not be the best fit for individuals who:

  • Require crisis intervention or urgent psychiatric care
  • Have active safety concerns (suicidal or homicidal risk requiring immediate support)
  • Require intensive or higher levels of care (inpatient, partial hospitalization, or intensive outpatient programs)
  • Seeking controlled substances without appropriate clinical indication
  • Are unable to participate in a collaborative outpatient treatment model
