Services

Greetings! I'm Dr. Joshua Werblin, a dedicated psychiatrist with a compassionate approach to care. My practice is a sanctuary for individuals of all ages seeking mental wellness.

My journey began at The University of Chicago, where I delved into the fundamentals of society and its utopian ideals. I took a somewhat circuitous path from there, working in different fields for nearly a decade before starting to study for my medical degree (M.D.) at Tulane University School of Medicine. During those ten years, I worked variously as a biophysicist, wooden boatbuilder, IT support, astrophysics technical work, and an Auxiliary NYPD officer in Harlem.

I completed a Pediatrics Internship at Tulane University, followed by a narrower focus in General Psychiatry Residency training, also at Tulane. I then received subspecialty fellowship training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital/University of Washington, followed by the acquisition of Addiction Psychiatry sub-specialization some years later.

My career has been diverse, including roles as an Inpatient Psychiatrist, Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist, and several Outpatient Psychiatry positions in New York, Florida, and Maryland. More than half of my career has been spent serving the most underserved and marginalized populations, such as youth and women rescued from the sex trade, runaway youth, homeless families, LGBTQIA++ populations, and undocumented immigrants.

Since 2019, I've been proudly serving as 'The Feelings Doctor' in my solo virtual practice, offering psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and those facing addiction challenges.

My commitment to you is simple: to provide empathetic, individualized, evidence-based care that supports your unique journey toward mental health wellness, whether or not you choose to use medications along the way. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and embrace the path to healing and fulfillment.

Approach

I offer an evidence-based medical practice that considers contemporary research and recent study trends. I adhere to the strict standards of care outlined by the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. While every effort is made to minimize polypharmacy, the goal of treatment is your well-being and mental health, not a number, a dose, or a term in isolation. You can expect individualized and expert care that is carefully considered and plainly discussed with you so that you can make an informed decision among the most reasonable therapeutic options.



How long should therapy last?

Psychiatric Evaluation (Adult) - Telehealth - 40 minutes

An initial visit involves a medical history review, an assessment of your specific symptoms and concerns, and possible diagnostic tests to evaluate a patient's health, identify issues, and develop and discuss treatment options.

Follow-up Visit (Adult) - Telehealth - 20 minutes

A follow-up visit involves checking the progress of the patient's treatment plan, assessing any new symptoms or concerns, and adjusting the treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal health outcomes.

Psychiatric Evaluation (Child/Adolescent) - Telehealth - 60 minutes

FOR ALL PATIENTS 17 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER. An initial visit involves a medical history review, an assessment of your specific symptoms and concerns, and possible diagnostic tests to evaluate a patient's health, identify issues, and develop and discuss treatment options. NOTE: The complexity of these evaluations is often greater than the 60 minutes allow. In these cases, at the end of the first appointment, you may be required to return for a follow-up appointment to complete.

Follow-up Visit (Child & Adolescent) - Telehealth - 20 minutes

FOR ALL PATIENTS 17 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER. A follow-up visit involves checking the progress of the patient's treatment plan, assessing any new symptoms or concerns, and adjusting the treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal health outcomes.



Additional facts about my Practice

I approach each person as just that--a person.

Everyone (any age, any background) brings a lifetime of experience and wisdom with questions about treatment.

I am perpetually honored and humbled to be allowed to participate in an often difficult discussion with people who entrust me with their care. The decision-making process is not just about the patient but must include the patient. Providing my perspective and listening to each patient is the most likely formula for therapeutic success.



Modalities in which I work

Individuals considering working with me should know that I approach each client with empathy, respect, and a commitment to their well-being. My diverse background and real-world experiences have shaped my approach to care, allowing me to connect with clients from all walks of life and create individualized treatment plans that honor their unique needs and preferences. I prioritize collaborative decision-making and actively involve clients in the treatment process, empowering them to take an active role in their mental health journey.



Therapy is not a sign of weakness

For those hesitant to try therapy, I wish to convey that seeking help is a courageous step toward healing and personal growth. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore challenges, gain insights, and learn coping strategies to navigate life's difficulties more effectively. Beginning therapy may feel daunting, but I'm here to provide compassionate guidance and support every step of the way. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and improving your overall well-being.



Why I work in this field

I became a therapist because I am deeply passionate about promoting mental health wellness and empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives. My motivation stems from a genuine desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others, drawing upon my clinical expertise, empathy, and commitment to evidence-based care. Witnessing my clients overcome obstacles, cultivate resilience, and experience personal growth fuels my dedication to this work, inspiring me to continue supporting others on their journey toward mental health wellness.
