Why patients choose us

Local psychiatric care without the handoff.

Patients from Elizabeth often need care that respects work schedules, family responsibilities, language questions, and insurance concerns before intake begins.

The free call helps clarify fit, timing, language needs, and whether the first evaluation should be by video or in the office.

Maplewood Mental Health Clinic is intentionally small. The point is not to move you through a system; it is to understand what is happening, explain options clearly, and keep the treatment plan with one clinician who remembers the context.

How care works

Evaluation, medication, and follow-up in one place.

The first clinical visit is a structured psychiatric evaluation. Teresa reviews your symptoms, history, prior treatment, medications, medical factors, safety, and goals before recommending a plan.

If medication is appropriate, decisions are made with context: what has helped before, what has caused side effects, what you are worried about, and what you want treatment to change. Brief supportive therapy and care coordination can be part of follow-up visits.

The goal is to make the next step understandable before you commit to a full evaluation. Our office is at 1585 Springfield Avenue, Maplewood (free on-site parking).

Start with a free 15-minute call.

Currently accepting new patients ages 10+. New patients are usually scheduled within 24 hours. We talk through fit, timing, and insurance on the call — no obligation to book an evaluation. Sun–Fri 9am–7pm.

Safety

Outpatient care is not crisis care.

If you are in immediate danger, unable to stay safe, or worried you may harm yourself or someone else, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need immediate emotional crisis support, call or text 988.

Once the immediate safety concern is stabilized, outpatient psychiatric care can help with diagnosis, medication planning, therapy coordination, and follow-up.
