Hi there, I'm Tony. Do you feel burdened trying to reach a provider that has an answer to your needs? Do you think you are not being heard when you talk to your providers? Now you have an answer to these constraints. I help teenagers and adults with mental health needs with medication treatment like anxiety, depression, mood, inability to focus, or easily distracted to reach their expected and desired outcomes. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming anxiety or depression and have been through a series of therapy sessions with no expected results, I'm here to help. Seeking a provider for medication therapy to augment your existing therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I'll meet you in our sessions with compassion and evidence-based techniques to overcome your mental health needs. Then, let's work together to reach that goal you have longed to achieve! Since this is telemedicine, I can only prescribe non-stimulant to help you with your focus. However, some non-stimulant have shown promising results and outcomes with focus and may be options to explore.
As a participant in the planning process, you will play a crucial role, while the client ultimately retains the authority to make decisions regarding their care. My responsibility is to provide guidance throughout this process, ensuring that we develop the most effective plan to achieve optimal outcomes.
My areas of expertise in treatment include the following: Depression and anxiety disorders, mood disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), insomnia, and nightmares.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective approach that assists patients in identifying negative thought patterns and understanding the impact of these thoughts on their emotions. Such negative thinking often leads to outward expressions of feelings, which can result in increased anxiety and depression. This cycle of thought contributes to irrational reasoning, inadequate planning, and a pervasive sense of hopelessness or helplessness. The primary objective of CBT is to modify these detrimental thought patterns by enabling individuals to recognize cognitive distortions that contribute to their difficulties. Furthermore, it encourages patients to reassess their thoughts in the context of reality, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of their behaviors.

I don't have the words to fully express my gratitude for Tony. From day one, he made me feel at ease with his careful and intelligent problem-solving abilities....They are unlike anything I've experienced. In just one week, I'm already halfway to resolving something I've struggled with my entire life. Tony is the real deal.

I met with Dr. Tony today and had a very positive experience. He was easy to talk to, listened carefully to what I had to say, and made me feel heard throughout the conversation. What stood out most was how relatable and down-to-earth he was, which helped me feel comfortable discussing my concerns. He came across as genuine, attentive, and interested in understanding my perspective. I look forward to continuing to work with him.

I was seeing Dr. Tony for a couple years before he moved practices. My insurance wont cover my pysch appointments anymore so I was searching for a new psychiatrist for months but wasn't happy with any of the doctors I was seeing. I finally decided, I'd rather pay out of pocket to keep seeing Dr. Tony than use my insurance... Dr. Tony is open-minded and is able to deal with my antics and questions and jokes. I feel very safe and comfortable and heard.
