Thank you for viewing my profile today! I have worked as a psychiatrist for almost two decades and essentially in every setting. I do my best to personalize our appointment so that you find it to be a positive experience. I look forward to collaborating with you on how I might be of help! Throughout my career have worked with people of all ages and various backgrounds. Every person has a valuable story to share (to whatever extent each person is comfortable to do so) and I am very interested in learning about each person's journey that has gotten them to this point. I will be honest with you if it appears that your needs would be best served by another provider, as I want to make sure you are receiving optimal and appropriate care. ***FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE, PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION IN MY PROFILE BEFORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT.*** When we can collaborate and communicate in a timely fashion, this helps in creating the best possible experience. Thank you for connecting with me. I look forward to meeting you and learning about how I might be of help! -Dr. F

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I greatly value attuning to what people tell me in the first session, and I take a brief history so that I can get to know each person's life a bit more. At the same time, there is an adequate opportunity for people to share what they feel is most important. If we are not listening to what people who are under our care are telling us, we are not doing our job. With that said, some individuals may have more to share at the first appointment, while others do not. In any case, I try to get a feel for what each person is looking for and prioritizes most in that first appointment. ***IF YOU SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME, YOU WILL RECEIVE A WELCOME MESSAGE THAT STARTS WITH THE FOLLOWING LINE: "Hello from Dr. F! Thank you for connecting with me! I look forward to meeting you and learning about how we can work together. Read everything below carefully in order to have the best experience possible." PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE WELCOME MESSAGE CAREFULLY AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS OR SHARE ANY CONCERNS. THANK YOU.**** #0: PETS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! #1: INTAKE FORMS MUST BE COMPLETED 24-48 HOURS BEFORE THE INITIAL APPOINTMENT, SO THAT I KNOW HOW BEST TO BE OF HELP TO YOU. IF NOT COMPLETED, THE APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELLED. #2: AN INITIAL APPOINTMENT DOES NOT GUARANTEE A SECOND APPOINTMENT OR RECEIVING MEDICATION. #3: PLEASE BE ON-TIME. IF YOUR INITIAL APPOINTMENT WITH ME IS MISSED, IT WILL NOT BE RESCHEDULED. #4: PLEASE PREPARE YOUR TECHNOLOGY AHEAD OF TIME (AUDIO & VIDEO must be WORKING and ON at EVERY APPOINTMENT). #5: PLEASE BE IN A QUIET AND REASONABLY LIT LOCATION (THIS IS MOST APPROPRIATE & PROTECTS YOUR CONFIDENTIAL HEALTH INFORMATION). #6: NO MULTITASKING DURING APPOINTMENTS (all of these have happened!): making food or beverages in or out of one's kitchen, driving (not safe!), lying down, eyes wandering around the room, not being dressed appropriately (I trust that people will use their best judgment), walking around or exercising, talking to others, doing other work, etc. Please keep in mind that a telehealth appointment with a healthcare provider is not the same as meeting with a friend or family member.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

An appointment is an EXPERIENCE. My strengths are the aspects are those that the person who sees me in an appointment finds HELPFUL & SUPPORTIVE. Of course, these may be different for each person based on their EXPERIENCE. I try to meet people WHERE THEY ARE so that they take away from sessions the feeling of personalized and attentive care, even if there is only a single appointment.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Punctual clients who are engaged in treatment and who check and respond to emails and messages in a timely fashion will likely have the most positive experience seeing me. I am grateful to run a very busy practice and I do my best to provide support in your mental health journey. But I am only 50% of our collaboration. The other 50% belongs to YOU. As a final note, if you schedule an initial appointment with me, INTAKE FORMS MUST BE COMPLETED 24-48 HOURS BEFORE THE INITIAL APPOINTMENT, SO THAT I KNOW HOW BEST TO BE OF HELP TO YOU. IF NOT COMPLETED, THE APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELLED. This notice is written in multiple places for clarity.

I’ve had a really good experience with Dr. Fakhfouri.and truly one of the best listeners I’ve met. He asks thoughtful and challenging questions that help me reflect and make clear decisions. I really appreciate the way he listens, observes, and understands not only what I say but also how I feel. He communicates clearly, shares helpful information, He’s very caring, respectful of time, and always professional. I appreciate how easy it is to talk to him and how much he genuinely tries to help.

Wow. After switching between at least five different providers in psychiatry, I’m honestly surprised to say—wow. A doctor like him actually exists. I’m truly grateful to God for leading me to him. He went above and beyond for me in a way that felt rare, genuine, and deeply human. Five stars honestly aren’t enough. If anyone ever deserved to be called a doctor in the truest, most heroic sense—it’s him. I appreciate him immensely for going the extra mile when others wouldn’t. Thank you, Dr. F.

Dr. F is thoughtful in his approach to psychiatry and always takes time to listen fully to my concerns and needs as a patient. When it comes to suggesting new meds he always explains what they are for, what to expect and leaves room for me to ask any questions. And he does all this in a way that feels warm and empowering rather than condescending, which is delightful and sometimes rare in this profession. Thank you Dr. F!
