Psychiatry

Our psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in understanding the biological, psychological, and emotional factors behind mental health challenges. They diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medical guidance to support emotional stability and improved functioning. 

At My Therapy Doctor LLC, we recognize how essential psychiatric care is, and we strive to make it accessible and supportive for those who need it. Our team includes a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works under the supervision of a board-certified psychiatrist, ensuring safe, high-quality care. 

While therapists focus on emotional and behavioral work through talk therapy, psychiatrists address the medical side of mental health — and together, this collaboration creates a holistic, patient-centered approach that often leads to more effective and lasting outcomes than either method alone.

We also offer:

Adult Psychiatry

Adult psychiatry focuses on understanding emotional, behavioral, and cognitive changes that affect daily functioning and overall well-being. Through careful evaluation and personalized treatment planning, adults receive support that addresses mood concerns, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges that arise throughout life. With a blend of medical insight and compassionate guidance, adult psychiatry helps individuals regain stability, clarity, and a stronger sense of control over their mental health.

We treat the following conditions:

> Anxiety

Anxiety can develop from prolonged stress, genetic predisposition, traumatic events, or changes in brain chemistry. It often causes excessive worry, tension, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of restlessness that disrupts daily comfort. Psychiatric treatment focuses on easing these symptoms through a combination of therapeutic strategies and medical support that help restore a calmer state of mind.

> Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is linked to shifts in brain chemistry, family history, and environmental stressors. It involves alternating periods of elevated energy and low moods that can disrupt sleep, decision-making, and daily functioning. Psychiatric care helps regulate these mood cycles and offers tools that support steadier routines and better emotional control.

> Depression

Depression may stem from biological factors, hormonal changes, unresolved grief, or ongoing stress. It often leads to persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, or changes in appetite and sleep. Treatment focuses on addressing both the emotional and chemical components of depression so that energy, motivation, and hope gradually return.

> Disordered Eating

Disordered eating can arise from emotional distress, body image concerns, trauma, or cultural pressures that influence a person’s relationship with food. It may involve restrictive behaviors, overeating, or patterns driven by anxiety or perfectionism. Psychiatric support aims to understand what’s fueling these behaviors and guide individuals toward a healthier and more balanced relationship with nourishment.

> Mood Disorder

Mood disorders can be influenced by genetics, hormonal shifts, chronic stress, or significant life changes. They often create unpredictable emotional highs or lows that affect concentration, relationships, and overall stability. Psychiatric treatment helps uncover what contributes to these shifts and provides a plan that promotes steadier emotional responses.

> Perinatal Depression

Perinatal depression can occur during pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuations, physical changes, or emotional stress surrounding the transition to parenthood. Symptoms may include irritability, sadness, difficulty bonding, or worry that feels hard to manage. Treatment offers tools that support both emotional well-being and a healthier pregnancy experience.

> Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression can affect new parents after childbirth, often triggered by hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, or the emotional weight of new responsibilities. It may lead to disconnection, overwhelm, or feelings of guilt despite the desire to feel joyful. Psychiatric care helps individuals regain emotional steadiness and strengthen their ability to adjust to life after birth.

> PTSD

PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing events that felt frightening, shocking, or overwhelming. It can lead to flashbacks, heightened sensitivity to triggers, or emotional numbness that makes certain situations difficult to navigate. Treatment helps the nervous system recover, reduces the impact of traumatic memories, and restores a sense of grounding and safety.
