My Practice: Five Ways I Serve
Traditional Psychiatry & Psychotherapy
Through my collaboration with Comprehensive Psychiatric Services, one of California’s largest psychiatric medical groups, I provide comprehensive mental health care during regular business hours. This insurance-based practice allows me to serve patients seeking traditional psychiatric treatment and psychotherapy with the backing of an established healthcare network.
BellM@nia Psych: Evening & Weekend Care
My out-of-network practice was created specifically for working professionals who can’t access care during standard hours. Open exclusively during late evenings and weekends, BellM@nia Psych offers same-day or same-week appointments that work around your schedule, not against it. This self-pay option eliminates insurance delays and waitlists, providing immediate access to quality psychiatric care when you need it most.
Medical-Legal Expertise
With over 1,000 disability evaluations completed, I bring extensive forensic psychiatry experience across multiple domains:
- Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) in Psychiatry for The Guardian Group, a state leader in QME and SIBTF cases
- Expert Witness providing objective psychiatric testimony for legal proceedings
- Disability Examiner for state and federal agencies, conducting comprehensive psychiatric assessments
Other possible evaluations:
Community-Based Psychiatric Services
Recognizing that quality mental health care must reach beyond traditional office settings, I provide:
- Inpatient Hospital Services for underserved communities, ensuring acute psychiatric care reaches those who need it most
- Home health visits for patients unable to access traditional settings due to physical limitations, severe anxiety, or other barriers
Research & Academic Contributions
As an active researcher and scholar with 50+ publications in peer-reviewed journals, I remain at the forefront of psychiatric innovation. This commitment to advancing the field ensures my clinical practice incorporates the latest evidence-based approaches while contributing to the broader understanding of mental health treatment.
