Where do you see patients?

Washington DC, VA, TX, GA. Patients must be physically located in one of these states. Of note, this is a telemedicine-only practice.

Do you complete fmla or disability paperwork?

At this time, I do not complete documentation for FMLA or disability paperwork, school absences, work accommodations.

 

Do you prescribe controlled medications?

Due to federal regulations for prescribing of controlled substances over telemedicine (Ryan Haight Act), I do not prescribe any controlled medications at this time.

Examples of controlled medications are:

  • Stimulants for ADHD such as Ritalin, Addrall, Vyvanse). Of note, I do discuss and provide non-stimulant options which may be helpful for ADHD. 

  • Benzodiazepines such as Xanax , Ativan, Klonopin

  • Sleep medications such as Ambien, Lunesta, and Sonata

important information:

Although virtual visits are appropriate for many conditions, there are some exceptions that may require a higher level of care than what I can safely provide through telemedicine:

  • Alcohol and other substance use disorders

  • Clients with active suicidal thoughts or urges to self-harm

  • Clients with thoughts of harming someone else

  • For severely ill patients or others who may require in-person visits

If experiencing thoughts of harm to self or others, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
