I am board certified in Adult psychiatry. My approach to mental health is integrative, with the utilization of complementary and alternative treatments such as yoga, lifestyle changes, and nutritional interventions in addition to traditional medication management and therapy. I prefer to focus on the overall health and well-being of an individual, rather than just treating symptoms. My practice focuses on medication management along with elements of therapy from different modalities, such as supportive and cognitive behavioral therapy, that are patient-tailored. I understand the importance of psychotherapy and may ask to bring in a therapist into your treatment team to provide the best care and outcome. My clinical interests include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, OCD, and ADHD.

After completing my undergraduate degree in Biology at Ohio Northern University, I received my medical degree from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I went on to complete my residency in psychiatry at The Ohio State University Medical Center. I also completed yoga teacher training and presented nationally at the APA in 2019 regarding the benefits of yoga for depression. I am a member of the American Psychiatric Association, Ohio Psychiatric Physician's Association, and Psychiatry Society of Central Ohio.

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health that addresses lifestyle factors alongside medication management. I value the importance of both therapy and medication in treating mental illness. I take a collaborative approach to care and strive to involve my patients in every step of the treatment process. I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where patients can openly discuss their concerns. While my focus is on medication management, I often recommend incorporating additional therapy into the treatment plan and may ask that patients work with a therapist to help achieve the best outcomes. I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans, and I believe in open communication, shared decision-making, and taking into account the whole person when addressing mental health concerns. My goal is to ensure that patients feel heard, supported, and actively engaged in their care.

I am a staff psychiatrist at Talkiatry. I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I completed my undergraduate education at New York University, followed by medical school at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn, NY. I went on to complete my psychiatry residency at Stony Brook University Hospital, where I received an award for academic achievement.

Emil Ibrahim, MD

I like to work with patients on a customized treatment plan with active patient participation. Treatment goals are defined and updated as needed in follow-up visits. I encourage my patients to ask questions and learn more about their condition; communication and education are essential for treatment success. My areas of interest include mood and anxiety disorders, cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, psychopharmacology, treatment-resistant conditions (depression), and psychoeducation to improve treatment compliance.

I joined Talkiatry as a general adult psychiatrist. I earned my medical degree from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Cairo, Egypt, and completed my residency in general psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University and MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. I have practiced psychiatry for 30 years in a variety of settings: hospitals, inpatient and consultation-liaison to other medical services, private practice, and outpatient care treating adults, geriatric patients, and adolescents. I have also provided geropsychiatric consultations to long-term care facilities and assisted living.

For new patients, I will conduct an initial evaluation; providing treatment records can be helpful. I will share treatment options with the patient and create a custom treatment plan. Follow-up appointments are scheduled every two weeks at the beginning of treatment.

I specialize in treating a broad range of psychiatric conditions, notably mood and anxiety disorders. I integrate medication management with a holistic, personalized approach to treatment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I believe in tailoring treatment plans individually, combining therapy and medications to suit each patient's unique needs, and I highlight the importance of healthy relationships in achieving overall mental health.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist. I earned my medical degree from Touro University Nevada and completed my residency at Unity Health White County Medical Center. I further specialized by completing a fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic, where I gained extensive experience working within multidisciplinary healthcare teams, particularly focused on psychiatric care for patients with complex medical conditions.

Patients visiting me for the first time can expect a comprehensive and personalized assessment that explores not just their psychiatric symptoms but their overall well-being and personal relationships. I prioritize a holistic evaluation, carefully balancing medication considerations and therapeutic interventions tailored specifically to each patient's situation and goals. I create an empathetic, collaborative atmosphere to discuss and develop personalized plans for mental and emotional wellness.

I am a double board-certified Child and Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist specializing in the well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults. A staunch advocate for evidence-based approaches, I integrate lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to foster mental health resilience among my patients. I am particularly passionate about the shared decision-making model, which enhances patient empowerment and satisfaction by actively involving patients in their treatment plans. My approach is deeply holistic, informed by my training in integrative medicine and my personal commitment to wellness.

I currently serve in St. Louis, MO, where I am known for my dynamic leadership as a Medical Director and my robust clinical practice. Throughout my career, I have held pivotal roles, including Medical Director of Crisis Psychiatry Services at Mercy Hospital and key positions in several reputable outpatient clinics across the U.S. My clinical acumen spans a diverse range of settings, from private practice and crisis care to specialized programs in residential and educational institutions. Complementing my medical expertise, I hold a Juris Doctorate, with a focus on public health and social policy, which enriches my understanding of the legal and systemic aspects of healthcare.

My academic contributions are equally notable. I have developed educational curriculums that significantly improve health outcomes and have shared my expertise through numerous media appearances and professional talks. My commitment to medical education is reflected in my mentorship of nurse practitioners and my involvement in creating community psychiatry programs.

On a personal level, I practice wellness through nutrition, exercise, and travel with my family. My professional journey is driven by a commitment to optimizing mental health outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for my patients and their families.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who practices general adult psychiatry, with a special interest in managing depression, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. I place special emphasis on a triple-pronged approach to treating conditions, using medication, therapy, and lifestyle guidance. I enjoy building a therapeutic relationship with my patients, and I value longer-term continuity of care when appropriate. I recognize that psychiatric conditions can hinder someone from enjoying their life in a way that they otherwise could, and my focus is on helping my patients obtain more happiness, while reducing frustration/pain.

I attended Calvin College for my Bachelor's Degree and Michigan State University College of Human Medicine for my Medical Degree. I then completed my Residency in Psychiatry at Ohio State University. After spending six months serving the prison population, I am back to doing what I find most rewarding, which is one-on-one outpatient psychiatry.

My practice focuses on medication management, which I typically offer in conjunction with supportive therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. Occasionally, I may determine that additional therapy is also needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome. In addition to general adult and geriatric psychiatry, my areas of interest include complex psychiatric and medical conditions, neuropsychiatric issues, and treatment-resistant cases. I enjoy using my medical expertise to solve difficult cases. I have an interest in exploring combined traditional psychiatric practice with complementary and holistic approaches to treatment, and I believe in keeping my patients healthy rather than only addressing illness.

I have been practicing for over 20 years in general adult psychiatry. I am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and hold a certification in Elder Law, which I received through the Mitchell Hamline School of Law. I also have advanced training in psychopharmacology, earned with distinction. I received my medical degree from the University of Toledo, College of Medicine and Life Sciences, where I was given the outstanding medical student award by the Department of Head and Neck Surgery. I completed my internship with the Department of Family Medicine and my residency with the Department of Psychiatry, both at the University of Toledo, College of Medicine and Life Sciences.

Throughout my career, I have served as the Medical Director of two Community Mental Health Centers and as the Corporate Medical Director for a company providing neuropsychiatric and general psychiatric care to patients residing in nursing facilities. I have also been a preceptor for numerous universities and have trained advanced practice providers in psychiatry.

My practice focuses on medication management. My goals include helping people feel comfortable seeking treatment as well as promoting an understanding of the purpose and reasoning behind the use of various medications to treat psychiatric disorders. Typically, I offer this in conjunction with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. When I believe that additional therapy is also needed, I will ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome. I appreciate and value working with therapists within the Talkiatry practice and in the community in a collaborative effort to promote wellness. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships with the people I see in my practice. I have interests in pharmacogenomics as well as treatment resistant approaches to depression.

I am a board certified general psychiatrist. Before joining Talkiatry, I practiced extensively in community mental health with adults of all ages in both outpatient and inpatient settings and as the medical director of several intensive outpatient and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) based programs. I also have experience in private practice and in the dual diagnoses of mental health and substance abuse disorders. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Psychology and then completed medical school at West Virginia University School of Medicine. I trained during my residency at WVU, where I served as a chief resident and received the Brandon K. Fuller Award for Physician Empathy in 2017. I appear in several professional publications.

My passions include working in the community at large to encourage a better understanding of mental health disorders and to promote suicide awareness and prevention.

Rather than focus primarily on illness or problems, my approach is to first evaluate patients comprehensively, then utilize what's learned from this to treat and empower them to make and then practice choices that lead to improved health and well-being, using an integrative model that recognizes that mental, physical, social, and spiritual health are one.

I am American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certified and a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. A skilled psychopharmacologist and psychotherapist, I have over 30 years' experience successfully helping people overcome a diverse range of emotional, psychiatric, and addiction challenges.

I was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and am a graduate of Augustana College. I obtained my MD at the USD School of Medicine. My residency was at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in Little Rock, where I was trained in both psychotherapy and biological management of psychiatric challenges. Following residency training, I continued to work with UAMS and the State of Arkansas in research and program development, focusing on implementing and then teaching novel strengths-focused care for people with severe mental illness for the first 12 years of my career. Later, I moved with my wife and three children to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and have since been in clinical practice and leadership roles in inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth psychiatric care settings.

FAQs

How does Talkiatry work?

Talkiatry is an online psychiatry practice designed to make high-quality mental health care more accessible. We’re 100% virtual, in-network with major insurance plans, and first appointments are typically available in days.

To get started, you’ll complete a quick online assessment to tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll match you with psychiatrists who are licensed in your state, in-network with your insurance, and experienced in treating your concerns. You’ll choose the clinician you’d like to work with.

Your first visit is an in-depth evaluation where your psychiatrist will listen, provide a diagnosis, and work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your goals and preferences. You’ll continue seeing the same clinician over time, adjusting your plan as your needs evolve. Our team is always here to help with scheduling, insurance, and questions about your care.

Do you provide therapy?

Care at Talkiatry starts with psychiatry. If you already have a Talkiatry psychiatrist, they can refer you to one of our therapists if you’ve decided together that therapy is the right next step. However, you can’t see a Talkiatry therapist if you aren’t already seeing one of our psychiatrists.

What should I do if I’m having an emergency?

Talkiatry does not provide emergency care. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please visit your nearest emergency room, call 911, or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

How much will my visit cost?

The majority of our visits cost patients $25 or less after insurance*, but your exact out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan. The best way to get a clear estimate is to contact your insurance provider directly. Here’s what to ask them:

  • Do I have mental health benefits that include outpatient psychiatry?
  • Is Talkiatry in-network for my plan?
  • What’s my copay or coinsurance for outpatient psychiatry visits?
  • Do I have a deductible? If so, how close am I to meeting it?
  • Do I have an out-of-pocket maximum? If so, how close am I to reaching it?
  • Are virtual or telehealth psychiatry visits covered the same as in-person care?
  • Is prior authorization required for outpatient psychiatry?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychiatry visit using CPT code 99204?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychotherapy visit using CPT code 90833?

*Includes all patient costs from 9/24-9/25: copayment, deductible, coinsurance, and $0 payments. Excludes missed appt. fees.  Your medical visit costs can vary depending on insurance coverage.

What if I don’t want to take medication?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and medication is often part of how they treat mental health conditions. At Talkiatry, your psychiatrist will start by listening and discussing your options with you. Medication is always your choice, but if it’s not something you’re open to considering, we may not be the best fit for ongoing care at this time.

How do I know if Talkiatry can help me?

Talkiatry provides virtual, in-network psychiatric care for people struggling with mild to moderate mental health issues. Here’s what we can help with:

  • Anxiety
  • ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Child & adolescent care
  • Depression
  • OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)
  • Pregnancy & postpartum care
  • PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
  • Substance use disorder

Our goal is to connect you with the best possible care for you. At your first visit, your doctor will confirm whether Talkiatry is the right fit. If they recommend in-person or higher-level care, they’ll guide you to the appropriate resources.

What if my insurance changes from United Healthcare?

Insurance changes are common, and we’re here to help. Talkiatry is in-network with thousands of plans. If your insurance changes, reach out to a Care Coordinator to update your information and confirm your coverage by calling 833-351-TALK (8255).

Do I still take the assessment if I’m already diagnosed with anxiety?

Yes. Our online assessment is an important part of how we match you with the right psychiatrist. Your first visit will include a thorough evaluation so your psychiatrist can confirm your diagnosis and tailor your treatment plan to your current needs.
