Expert psychiatric care
for complex cases
Dr. Farkas offers a focused range of psychiatric services — each practiced at the level her MD/PhD neuroscience training enables. Not a general clinic. Not a telehealth mill. Thorough, evidence-based care for people who deserve more than a 15-minute med check.
Everything Dr. Farkas offers,
in one place
Each service is built on the same commitment: a thorough evaluation, an honest diagnosis, and a treatment plan designed around your specific situation — not a template.
Sophisticated augmentation when first-line care has failed. Dr. Farkas's PhD neuroscience training enables mechanistically-informed treatment for patients who haven't responded to standard antidepressants — identifying why previous medications failed and choosing the next step strategically. Includes TMS and ketamine pathways when appropriate.
Comprehensive evaluation and medication management for adults 18+ — built on 60–90 minute appointments, neurobiologically-informed prescribing, and genuine partnership in your care. The foundation of everything offered here.
Polypharmacy review and late-onset mood disorders for adults 65+. Age-adjusted dosing, complex drug-interaction analysis, and strategic deprescribing — with deep respect for patient dignity and autonomy.
Evidence-based psychiatric care during pregnancy and after childbirth. Deep expertise in medication safety while breastfeeding — specific, evidence-based answers instead of vague reassurances. PPD, postpartum anxiety, OCD, and bipolar are all treated here.
Expert consultation on existing treatment plans before committing to a major medication change or diagnosis you're uncertain about. Independent evaluation with a written summary you can share with any provider. No obligation to switch.
Systematic regimen evaluation and safe deprescribing. On 4+ psychiatric medications with unclear rationale or cumulative side effects? Dr. Farkas's pharmaceutical research background makes her uniquely equipped to simplify what doesn't need to be complex.
The credentials that make
a real difference
Most psychiatric practices are built around volume — 15-minute appointments, large patient panels, and algorithmic prescribing. Dr. Farkas built hers on the opposite premise: that thorough, expert care produces meaningfully better outcomes.
Her MD/PhD in neuroscience, NIH research center training, and pharmaceutical research background aren't biographical footnotes. They directly change how she approaches diagnosis and treatment — especially for patients where standard care has fallen short.
