Our Services
Diagnostic Psychiatry Services
Medication review, diagnostic clarity, and ADHD evaluation for patients in California and Arizona when symptoms, labs, sleep, hormones, and medication history need to be read together.
Medication review
Medication is not working, side effects are getting messy, or the regimen has grown over time.
Diagnostic clarity
Symptoms do not match the label, labs were never reviewed, or the body story is missing.
ADHD evaluation
Focus, burnout, sleep, anxiety, and executive function are tangled together.
Our Approach
Diagnostic Psychiatry
Systematic root-cause investigation identifies the underlying medical factors—thyroid function, nutritional status, sleep quality, hormones—that limit mental clarity, energy, and mood.
Whether you're struggling with treatment-resistant symptoms or seeking to optimize from 'functional' to 'exceptional,' comprehensive medical-psychiatric assessment changes outcomes.
The goal is a plan that explains the pattern before treatment gets more complicated.

Clinical Areas
Core Services & Clinical Areas
Comprehensive diagnostic psychiatry addressing the full spectrum of mental health needs
Comprehensive Medical-Psychiatric Assessment
Systematic 16-system investigation and 75-90 minute initial evaluation. We look at the whole picture.
Psychiatric Symptoms Not Improving
When standard treatment isn't working, we look deeper. We investigate underlying medical causes that may be mimicking or worsening psychiatric symptoms.
Perimenopause & Women's Hormonal Health
Investigating hormonal changes that affect mood, anxiety, and cognition. We don't just treat the symptom; we look at the hormonal context.
Men's Hormonal Health & Low Testosterone
Evaluation of testosterone and related medical factors when mood, energy, libido, or focus changes may have a hormonal component.
PTSD & Trauma-Related Symptoms
Trauma affects the body. We explore medical factors that may be hindering trauma recovery, such as inflammation or sleep disorders.
Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
Root-cause investigation of sleep problems. Sleep is foundational to mental health. We check for apnea, circadian issues, and more.
Comprehensive Medication Management
Psychiatric prescribing with medical oversight, side-effect review, interaction checks, and a clear reason for each medication change.
Medical Optimization for Plateaued Patients
For patients who are functioning but still unclear about sleep, labs, medication response, hormones, or metabolic factors.
Professional Optimization
Diagnostic work for executives, professionals, and high-responsibility patients whose focus, sleep, mood, and medical signals are tangled together.
Executive Burnout & Fatigue
Medical-psychiatric evaluation of performance decline, including sleep, medication effects, mood, workload, and physiologic contributors.
Second Opinions & Diagnostic Clarity
Fresh perspectives on unclear diagnoses. If you've been given multiple labels without a clear path forward, we can help.
Pre-Surgical Psychiatric Clearance
Expert evaluations for surgical candidates (e.g., bariatric, transplant, spinal cord stimulator).
