Psychiatric evaluation
A thorough, unhurried first assessment to understand your history, symptoms, and goals — the foundation for everything that follows.
What we offer
Whole-person psychiatric care, built around you.
From the first conversation to an ongoing plan, care is personalized, evidence-based, and free of judgment — delivered by video or in person, anywhere in New York.
How we can help
Medication management
Careful, collaborative prescribing and ongoing monitoring — including buprenorphine treatment for substance use — always explained in plain language.
Supportive therapy
Person-centered, CBT, and humanistic approaches — a space to be heard, build skills, and work through what's weighing on you.
Telehealth & in person
Meet by secure video from anywhere in New York, or in person — whichever helps you show up most comfortably.
Conditions we treat
Care is tailored to each person — drawing on person-centered therapy, CBT, interpersonal and humanistic approaches, evidence-based medicine, and holistic practices. Here's how that looks across the concerns we see most.
Depression
Depression rarely has a single cause, so we don't treat it with a single tool. JoJo starts by understanding what's beneath the low mood — life circumstances, sleep, relationships, physical health — then builds a plan that may combine medication, talk therapy, and practical change, adjusting as you start to feel more like yourself.
Anxiety
When worry runs the show, the goal is to give you steadier footing. Using cognitive-behavioral and person-centered approaches, JoJo helps you understand your anxiety's patterns and build concrete tools to quiet them — with medication as an option when it meaningfully helps, never as the default.
Bipolar disorder
Living well with bipolar disorder depends on consistency and trust. JoJo offers attentive, ongoing medication management paired with regular check-ins, watching for what's working and what needs adjusting — so care stays steady through the ups and the downs.
PTSD & trauma
Healing from trauma can't be rushed. JoJo creates a safe, culturally sensitive space and moves at your pace, combining trauma-informed therapy with medication support where it helps — so you can process what happened without feeling overwhelmed by it.
OCD
Intrusive thoughts and compulsions respond best to structured, evidence-based care. JoJo works with you on practical strategies grounded in CBT, and considers medication when it can ease the intensity — helping you take back the time and mental space OCD tends to consume.
ADHD
Care begins with a careful evaluation — because focus and follow-through struggles can have several roots. From there, JoJo builds a plan that may include medication, structure, and skills, tailored to how your attention actually works rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Insomnia
Sleep touches everything. JoJo looks at the full picture — habits, stress, and any underlying conditions — and combines behavioral approaches with thoughtful medication management where appropriate, with the goal of giving you back your nights and your days.
Substance use & addiction
Recovery is met with respect, never judgment. As a buprenorphine prescriber, JoJo offers medication-assisted treatment alongside supportive therapy, building a plan around your goals and your life — and walking alongside you as it changes.
JoJo also supports clients navigating family and relationship issues, cultural and identity concerns, women's health, grief, and major life transitions.
