Welcome to Forrest Psychiatry
Due to COVID-19 precautions all visits are being done virtually (both new patient and returning patient appointments).
New Patients
My services:
I have an adult psychiatry practice, which means that I provide evaluation and medication management of psychiatric illnesses for adults age 18 and older. I will gladly work in collaboration with your therapist if you choose.
Because my practice is not typically a Telehealth practice, I am only seeing patients who are located in and around Pittsburgh.
Please note that I do not:
Accept medicare or medicaid (including UPMC for You, UPMC for Life)
Prescribe stimulants (including Adderall, Ritalin, etc).
Provide assessments for disability or disability insurance.
Prescribe high doses of benzodiazepines (including xanax, valium, klonopin, etc).
Prescribe xanax (alprazolam) except under extremely rare circumstances and in very small quantities
Provide letters for emotional support animals
Recent increases in demand for psychiatric care locally has resulted in me having only limited availability to accept new patients. If you feel that my practice may be a good fit for you, please fill out the screening form below. If I am able to schedule a new patient appointment you will receive a link via email within one week to select an appointment slot.
