Hi there, I'm Dr. Nadeem. I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist. I was trained at Ivy League prestigious institutions, completing Psychiatry Residency at Cornell University and Geriatric Psychiatry fellowship at Brown University. Over the years, I've cared for patients across a wide range of settings including complex inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison psychiatry and since COVID as a tele-health Psychiatrist. I've also had the privilege of teaching medical students along the way, which deepened my belief that truly good psychiatric care starts with compassionate care.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.
I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.
I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.

Frequently asked questions


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 Therapist in Sarasota
Finding psychiatrists in Sarasota starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a good match. Some people start with therapy, some start with psychiatry, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical background, and approach match what you want help with.
In a smaller city like Sarasota, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual psychiatry can help expand your search while keeping care accessible. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. When narrowing your options, consider appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether the visit format fits your schedule. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each psychiatrist’s focus, communication style, and experience with concerns like anxiety, mood conditions, attention concerns, or medication management.
Psychiatric care in Sarasota can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare bios, 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.
