About this condition

How behavioral & emotional difficulties is evaluated and treated

Help with anger, emotional swings, impulsivity, and behaviors that strain work, school, or relationships.

Care for Kendall patients begins with a full psychiatric evaluation: current symptoms and how long they have lasted, psychiatric and medical history, medications and supplements, sleep, substance use, family history, and the daily stressors specific to work, school, and family life. From there we discuss a diagnosis in plain language and build a treatment plan together.

When medication is appropriate, options, expected benefits, side effects, and monitoring are reviewed at each visit. When helpful, care is coordinated with therapy, primary care, or other specialists, and laboratory or psychological testing may be recommended.

Getting to care from Kendall

Kendall patients generally take the Palmetto Expressway north, about 35 minutes off-peak and noticeably longer during the SW 88th Street rush. Because Kendall commutes are long in both directions, appointments are usually set for mid-day.

A common Kendall arrangement is quarterly in-person visits with telehealth in between, which keeps medication monitoring on schedule without repeated Palmetto trips. For behavioral and emotional difficulties specifically, that means symptom review and medication monitoring stay on schedule without Kendall patients rearranging a whole workday. Appointments are available in English and Spanish, and records can be shared with your primary care physician or therapist in Kendall on request.
