Hi there, I'm Ibrahim!
I have over 5 years of experience as a mental health practitioner, working in outpatient clinics and inpatient psychiatric units. My primary focus has been on providing medication management and talk therapy to individuals with severe mental health issues, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, etc, starting age of 12 years to late adulthood. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment to help each client achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Please be advised that this online telehealth service does not initiate or prescribe controlled medications, such as benzodiazepines or stimulants, due to DEA regulations.
I am a board-certified, bilingual (English/Spanish) psychiatrist who is passionate about understanding my clients at a deeper level and helping them find the emotional wellbeing they seek. After finishing my residency at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System, where I served as a Chief Resident, I completed a two-year interpersonal psychoanalysis course at the William Alanson White Institute in New York City.
I am a double board-certified psychiatrist in adult and child/adolescent psychiatry, providing expert care to patients ages 6 to 80 through secure virtual appointments. Licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware, I bring 25 years of clinical experience to psychiatric evaluations and medication management. My work experiences include private practice, academic medicine, community psychiatry, residential treatment facilities, intensive outpatients.
I earned an MD from Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany, and completed psychiatry residency and child psychiatry fellowship training at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Newark
Finding the right psychiatrist in Newark starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other prescribing clinicians can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy. Both can be valid starting points, depending on your needs. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and bio to see whether their experience matches what you want help with.
In a smaller city like Newark, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Some people prefer an office near Chestnut Hill, Laird, Elkton Pike, or nearby areas, while others look for virtual appointments that fit their schedule. Psychiatry visits, especially medication management appointments, are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and Headway verifies that the clinician is accepting new patients with your plan, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.
