Hello and welcome to comprehensive psychiatric services at DMD Health and Wellness!
As a General (Adult) and Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, I am passionate about empowering all ages on their journey towards mental health and well-being.
I completed a residency in General Psychiatry and fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Georgia's prestigious medical college, one of the oldest medical schools in the nation. This expert, specialized training has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to understand the unique psychological needs of children, adolescents, and adults.
I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, Board Certified Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, and am also a Board Certified Pediatrician (triple-trained in General Pediatrics, General Psychiatry, and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry). I completed a pediatrics residency at NYC’s only academic Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate, with additional pediatric and psychiatric internships at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center.
I graduated with my medical degree (Doctorate) with clinical accolades from New York’s oldest osteopathic medical school, NYIT.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jonesboro
Finding psychiatrists in Jonesboro starts with understanding the type of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatric care often includes medication management, which means reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and adjusting the plan when appropriate. People often look for this kind of support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or related concerns. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on your needs.
In a smaller city like Jonesboro, the number of local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options beyond nearby offices. Medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which can make appointment timing, availability, and format especially important. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s bio to understand their specialties, appointment style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Jonesboro 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 search psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for care format, availability, and focus areas. You can browse profiles, compare options, 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.
