What your evaluation includes
A full picture
We explore what your anxiety looks like, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your daily life.
Validated screening
Standardized measures help us identify the type of anxiety and track your progress over time.
Physical contributors
Thyroid problems, caffeine, alcohol, sleep loss, and some medications can drive anxiety. We look at these so nothing is missed.
Related conditions
Anxiety often overlaps with depression, ADHD, or trauma. We screen for these so your plan treats the whole picture.
Treatment options
Treatment is tailored to you. It may include evidence-based medications such as SSRIs or SNRIs, coordination with a therapist for approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, and practical changes to sleep, caffeine, and daily routines that lower your baseline stress. We start carefully and adjust based on how you feel.
Common questions
Can anxiety be treated through telehealth?
Yes. Psychiatric evaluation and medication management work well by secure video, and many patients find it easier to open up from home.
Do I need therapy too?
Not always, but many people benefit from combining medication with therapy. If therapy would help, we can recommend options and coordinate care.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, through Zocdoc. When you book, Zocdoc shows whether your plan is accepted. Private-pay options are also available.
Who can be seen?
Adults who are physically located in New York State at the time of each visit.
