"Dr. Sidawi is an unbelievably warm and skilled mental health practitioner. I was his patient for about a year, and appreciated his approach to counseling and the way he blended therapy and medicine. As a female patient, I almost actively avoid male practitioners, but Dr. Sidawi shifted that thinking--he demonstrated his expertise in a humble way, created a space that felt collaborative, made me feel at ease, cared for, and never judged. He took the time to understand what was going on in my life, and offered holistic approaches to short and longterm treatment. Especially for patients experiencing depression, anxiety, and ADHD, I can't recommend Dr. Sidawi enough."

"Dr. Sidawi was my psychiatrist for nearly two years. I first saw him on a referral for ADHD, then spent 18 months in therapy with him. I can’t say enough about my experience and how therapy changed my life in the best way. Dr. Sidawi is insightful, empathetic, and has a gift for challenging me with a new perspective. I highly recommend him!"

"Dr. Sidawi is the Ideal standard of what a patient would want when searching for a psychiatrist. He is kind, he makes sure he understands me before giving feedback, always gives good advice, makes sure your meds are working for you in the correct way, and he recognizes and acknowledges the progress I've made if it sounds like you're being too hard on myself. He's everything you can ask for when searching for a mental health professional that will take the time to really guide you on your journey to growth and healing. I've never felt so supported in my search for mental stability when dealing with symptoms of Depression, OCD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder"

Why Get Your Psychiatric Care In-Person?

While telehealth has undoubtedly brought about numerous conveniences, there are distinct advantages to seeing your psychiatrist in person that should be considered. Face-to-face interactions allow for a deeper level of connection and rapport between patient and psychiatrist. The physical presence can create a more personal and empathetic environment, fostering a stronger therapeutic alliance, which is vital for effective mental health treatment. In-person visits also facilitate non-verbal communication cues, such as body language and facial expressions, that can provide valuable insights into your emotional state and aid your psychiatrist in tailoring treatment plans to your unique needs.

Moreover, meeting in person allows for a more comprehensive evaluation. Your psychiatrist can conduct a thorough examination, which may include observing physical symptoms, assessing cognitive function, and conducting any necessary diagnostic tests, all of which contribute to a more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment approach. Additionally, in-person visits provide a structured setting, potentially reducing distractions and enhancing focus during your sessions. Ultimately, both telehealth and in-person options have their merits, but the traditional in-person approach offers unique benefits that may prove invaluable in optimizing your mental health journey. We can work with you to determine the best mode of care based on your preferences, needs, and specific mental health concerns.
