Your brain is a physical organ — and like any organ, it can heal, and change. Your struggles aren't character flaws; they're brain biology, and our brains can heal and grow.

I offer neuroscience-based psychiatric care via telehealth throughout Connecticut, drawing on 27 years across the state's healthcare landscape — ICUs, ERs, home visits, schools, and communities. Awareness is the first step in healing.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in New Haven

Finding psychiatrists in New Haven starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication plans. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and approach to medication management before booking.

New Haven has local psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Fair Haven, Wooster Square, and The Hill, and nearby availability may vary by schedule and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options when local in-person openings are limited or when regular travel to an office is harder to fit into your week. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy, with medication management visits that are usually shorter and less frequent. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Read bios to compare availability, session format, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in New Haven can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan, so you can compare profiles, review cost estimates, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
