Psychiatry in Jamaica Queens

About Psychiatry & Mental Health

Health Med offers outpatient psychiatry for people seeking an evaluation or continuing care for mental health concerns. Our service includes psychiatric assessment, medication management, and follow-up in Jamaica, Queens. Contact the office to confirm the clinician and appointment appropriate for your age and needs.

Starting with an evaluation

An initial psychiatric evaluation is an opportunity to discuss what you have been experiencing, how it affects daily life, and any previous treatment. The clinician may review symptoms, sleep, medical history, medicines, and your goals for care.

Our published services include care for mood and anxiety concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and other psychiatric conditions. A symptom or an online questionnaire alone does not establish a diagnosis. The assessment helps determine the next steps and whether further information is needed.

Medication and ongoing care

If medication is part of your plan, follow-up visits provide time to review benefit, side effects, and any changes in your health. Bring a complete list of medicines and supplements, including prescriptions from other clinicians. A consultation does not guarantee a particular prescription.

Supportive therapy and referrals may also be discussed. Ask the office which therapy services are available and how they differ from longer-term psychotherapy. Virtual follow-up visits may be an option when clinically appropriate; confirm current availability and eligibility when booking.

Prepare for your appointment

• Bring relevant treatment records and your medication history.
• Note the concerns that are most difficult for you day to day.
• Prepare questions about the proposed treatment, follow-up, and costs.
• Ask how to contact the office about side effects or questions between visits.

Outpatient appointments

Health Med is an outpatient service, not an emergency department. If you or someone else is in immediate danger or experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

For a routine psychiatry appointment, call (718) 577-2211. Our center is at 19002 Jamaica Ave, Queens, NY 11423. Confirm referral requirements and coverage with the office and your insurer before the visit.
