I am board certified in Adult Psychiatry. I primarily focus on medication management but integrate therapeutic support into my sessions. For more in-depth therapy needs, I encourage patients to have their own individual therapist. I particularly enjoy working with young adults and in areas related to women's health, such as perinatal mental health. I welcome people from all cultures and am LGBTQ+ friendly.

I received my undergraduate and medical degrees at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, and then moved to Morgantown, West Virginia to complete my psychiatry residency. I have experience working with patients from different backgrounds in inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings.

Bryan Morales, MD

I am a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to the bio-psycho-sociocultural model of care. This commitment is reflected in my work treating patients across a wide spectrum of medical and psychiatric conditions, differing levels of psychological mindedness, and diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. My clinical experience encompasses treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

My practice synthesizes active listening, supportive psychotherapy techniques, and evidence-based medication management with monitoring, delivered through 1-hour initial consultations and 30-minute follow-up appointments. I believe strongly in patient education and developing comprehensive treatment plans focused on relief, resilience and confident authenticity. Recognizing the value of comprehensive care, I actively encourage and coordinate with therapists when patients can benefit from additional time and frequency of visits. I check the State Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Database for all patients prescribed controlled medications prior to ordering or refilling controlled medications.

I earned my medical degree from the East Carolina Brody School of Medicine as a Brody Scholar and subsequently completed my psychiatry residency at Jackson Health System / University of Miami. Throughout my clinical training and practice across three distinct hospital systems, I have treated diverse populations, including but not limited to high-functioning professionals, active duty military and veterans, human trafficking survivors, and patients in grief and mourning. Ultimately, I seek to understand, appreciate, and facilitate for every patient through a patient, engaging and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

I employ a collaborative, patient-centered approach, tailoring treatment plans to meet each individual's specific needs. My practice integrates pharmacotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and supportive therapy as needed. I specialize in treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, neuropsychiatric disorders, developmental disorders, and personality disorders. My philosophy is to provide personalized care that makes a meaningful impact at different stages of a patient's life.

I am board-certified in Psychiatry and completed my psychiatry residency training at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. With over 14 years of experience, I have worked in a variety of settings, including five years in inpatient psychiatry in Vermont, where I served as Medical Director for a state hospital psychiatric unit and taught medical students. I then spent five years working in an outpatient community mental health center in Pennsylvania before transitioning to telepsychiatry, providing care to individuals in Pennsylvania, Florida, and New York.

During the first visit, patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation focused on understanding their mental health concerns, history, and treatment goals. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach, working closely with patients to create individualized treatment plans, ensuring that each patient receives a balanced and effective combination of medication management and therapeutic interventions suited to their unique needs.

My practice focuses on medication management. I work to foster a safe and collaborative space in which patients can address psychiatric illness and other barriers holding them back from the lives they want to lead. Typically, I offer appointments for medication management coupled with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute sessions. When I feel that additional therapy is needed, I will suggest inviting a therapist to join the team for additional support and guidance. I welcome collaborations with other clinicians, be they therapists or other physicians caring for my patients. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships that help patients grow and meet their goals, whatever their situation, challenge, or life stage. I welcome patients from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds and am LGBTQ+ friendly.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist. Before joining Talkiatry, I practiced consult-liaison psychiatry, seeing medically ill patients with psychiatric problems at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I also treated veterans in nursing homes. I graduated from New York University with a B.A. in philosophy and photography and worked in nonprofit marketing in New York before deciding to pursue a life in medicine. Following a post-baccalaureate, pre-medical program at Columbia University, I completed medical school at The University of Maryland, followed by a psychiatry residency at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. While at Johns Hopkins, I mastered clinical assessment and treatment of general psychiatric problems. I also received specialized training in eating disorders, addiction, reproductive psychiatry, chronic pain, and geriatric psychiatry, an interest I pursued further with a fellowship at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In fellowship and in my subsequent experience at the VA, I developed expertise in caring for the difficulties that can accompany aging, including depression, anxiety, and memory loss, as well as the stress of medical illness. In addition to my background in geriatrics, I have experience working with peripartum women and enjoy working with patients navigating major life changes.

I am an experienced, open-minded psychiatrist who prioritizes empathy and understanding in my work. I recognize that each individual's path to wellness is unique and strive to meet patients where they are in this process.

I encourage patients to participate in psychotherapy and believe a therapist can be a crucial part of the treatment team. I use a collaborative, patient-centered treatment approach with the goal of reducing mental pain and improving wellness so that patients are better able to pursue their unique personal and professional goals. I utilize psychopharmacology, psychoeducation, and supportive and psychodynamic psychotherapy skills when working with patients. I have experience treating adults with a variety of mental health problems including anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, and psychotic disorders.

I focus on compassionate, evidence-based care that integrates psychotherapy and psychotropic medications to promote recovery and growth. My collaborative and respectful style ensures patients feel heard while working toward meaningful goals. I emphasize setting clear expectations from the start to foster confidence and engagement. With my background in consultation-liaison psychiatry, I bring expertise in caring for individuals managing psychiatric conditions alongside significant medical illness.

The first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation, during which I carefully explore a patient's history, conditions, and symptoms. Based on this, I develop a personalized treatment plan and review it collaboratively, so expectations are clear. Future visits focus on monitoring progress, adjusting the plan as needed, and integrating both psychotherapy and medication management to best support the patient's needs and long-term growth.

I earned my medical degree from Ponce Health Sciences University, where I also served as Chief Resident in Psychiatry. I completed residency training at Ponce Health Sciences University and the U.S. Veterans Health Administration, Caribbean Healthcare System, followed by a Fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you will feel comfortable and heard. I understand that having a strong therapeutic alliance is equally as important as accurate diagnosing and medication management. I strongly believe in a patient-centered model, in which medical decision-making is driven by patient preferences. My job is to empower patients to make informed decisions regarding their mental health. While working together, I will get to know you and will be open to you sharing as much or as little about yourself as you would like.

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 Blue Cross Blue Shield?

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 ADHD?

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.
