Choosing the right starting point
Care organized around what you need next.
You do not have to know which service name fits before you call. Most patients start with either a psychiatric evaluation, medication management, or a conversation about symptoms that have become hard to manage.
Where patients usually start
The right first step depends on what you already know, what has changed recently, and whether medication is part of the question.
- Psychiatric Evaluation helps when you need diagnostic clarity, a first medication conversation, or a second look at symptoms that have been hard to name.
- Medication Management helps when you already take medication, are considering medication, or need careful follow-up for benefits, side effects, and next steps.
- Condition-specific care helps when anxiety, depression, ADHD, panic, bipolar symptoms, trauma, OCD, autism-related needs, or later-life changes are the main concern.
If you are unsure where you fit, start with the free 15-minute call. We can help you choose the most useful first appointment.

How services combine
Most patients receive two or more concurrently.
Psychiatry rarely presents as a single, isolated diagnosis. ADHD and anxiety commonly appear together. Depression and bipolar symptoms can overlap. PTSD often shows up alongside sleep and mood concerns. The goal is to understand the whole picture, then build one plan that can actually be followed.
The most common pairing: an initial psychiatric evaluation that establishes diagnosis and a treatment plan, followed by ongoing medication management. If the diagnosis turns out to be ADHD with co-occurring anxiety, the plan can include both ADHD and anxiety care without asking you to start over with a different clinician.
If you're not sure which service fits your situation, you do not have to figure it out alone. The free 15-minute call is a simple way to choose the right first step.

How to start
Three steps from question to care.
Step 1
Free 15-minute call
A brief conversation about what brought you here, what you're hoping for, and whether our approach fits your situation. No intake paperwork before the call. No obligation. No clinical decisions made on the call.
Step 2
Psychiatric evaluation
60–90 minutes. We establish a DSM-5-TR diagnosis, build a treatment plan together, and — if medication is indicated — send prescriptions that same day for non-controlled substances.
Step 3
Ongoing care
Medication management visits every few weeks during titration, then every 2–3 months for maintenance. Supportive therapy integrated into every visit. Telehealth or in-person — your choice, same insurance coverage.
Common questions
Questions people ask about our services.
Can one provider really cover all 12 of these?
Yes. A PMHNP-BC is trained to diagnose and treat the full range of outpatient psychiatric conditions across the lifespan — not just one specialty. Most patients actually benefit from a single provider managing multiple concerns at once: ADHD alongside anxiety, depression with co-occurring bipolar features, or PTSD with sleep issues. One plan, one record, one relationship.
What's the difference between medication management and psychiatric evaluation?
A psychiatric evaluation is the 60–90-minute initial assessment where we establish a DSM-5-TR diagnosis and build a treatment plan together. Medication management is the ongoing 30-minute follow-up care after that — prescribing, titration, monitoring, and refills. Almost every patient starts with an evaluation and then transitions into medication management as the long-term relationship.
Do you offer therapy-only (no medication)?
We offer brief supportive therapy integrated into every visit, not structured weekly psychotherapy. If you want CBT, trauma-focused therapy, or a weekly hour of talk-based care as your only treatment, we'll help you find a therapist who fits and coordinate with them. Many patients see Teresa for medication and a separate therapist for longer sessions — a common and evidence-supported split-treatment model.
Which services do you offer via telehealth?
All 12. Non-controlled medications, evaluations, and supportive therapy are generally telehealth-eligible when clinically appropriate. Schedule II prescriptions (ADHD stimulants) require an initial in-person visit at our Maplewood office plus quarterly in-person follow-ups under current New Jersey rules, but other visits in that treatment plan can often be telehealth.
How do I know which service I need?
If you're unsure, start with the free 15-minute consultation. We'll talk about what's going on and recommend the right first step — usually a psychiatric evaluation, sometimes a direct referral elsewhere if your needs fit better with another kind of clinician.
Still unsure which service you need?
The free 15-minute call is designed for exactly that question. Fifteen minutes of conversation saves an hour of reading.
