Two people sit across from each other at a table—papers, a pen, and water between them—as a psychiatrist from Rediscovered Psychiatry, New York, listens attentively.

Mental health, rediscovered

What I believe and how that shapes your care

schedule an intake session Send a message

Care should be collaborative

You are the expert on your life.

My role is to bring clinical knowledge, offer options, and help you make informed choices.

01

You’re more than a diagnosis

We consider context: culture, identity, trauma, stressors, and strengths.

02

Consent isn’t a checkbox

We slow down, explain why, outline risks and benefits, and revisit decisions.

03

Weight is not a behavior

I practice HAES-aligned, non-diet psychiatry. No BMI goals. No body shame.

04

Safety includes dignity

No pressure to disclose beyond your readiness. No moralizing symptoms or coping.

What “non-coercive” means here

No forced medication or ultimatums in outpatient care.

No using access to care as leverage for compliance.

Transparent discussions about options, side effects, alternatives, and how to taper safely if needed.

Space to say “not yet” or “no” and still be treated with respect.

Medication philosophy

Medications can be helpful tools, not life sentences.

We use the least necessary dose, monitor benefits and side effects, and deprescribe thoughtfully when appropriate to reduce withdrawal and burden.

If medication isn’t right for you, we explore other strategies.

Eating disorder-informed psychiatry

I collaborate with therapists and dietitians and focus on nervous system safety, routine, and gentle stabilization.

We avoid weight-centric goals and support body trust, access to nourishment, and shame-free care.

Boundaries that protect care

Adults 18+ only

Telehealth across CT, NY, NJ, MA; in-person as needed

Not a crisis service. If you need immediate help, call your local crisis line or 988.

Access and equity

I accept select insurance plans and reserve limited sliding-scale spots each year to expand access while preserving quality of care.

If your needs fall outside my scope—MAT programs, court-mandated evaluations, crisis or inpatient care—I’ll help with referrals. Right-fit care matters.

Cultural humility and identity-affirming care

As an AAPI clinician, I ground care in cultural competency. We can talk openly about culture, family expectations, and identity without turning them into “symptoms.” This is an LGBTQ-affirming and neurodivergent-affirming practice—welcoming all genders, orientations, bodies, and backgrounds.
