Dr. Gira Borad, MD
I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist and have specialized in Addiction Psychiatry. I have a special interest in treating individuals having a substance use history and struggling to quit, and have expertise in treating patients with a dual diagnosis of substance use with other psychiatric conditions. I also have an interest in treating patients with mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.
I completed my residency at the WVU campus of Charleston, WV, and completed the Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at UPMC/Western Psychiatry Institute in Pittsburgh, PA. I previously worked as an Assistant Professor at WVU of Charleston, where I was involved in working with residents in inpatient and outpatient settings, provided psychiatric consult services to hospitalized patients, and was part of the Outpatient Comprehensive Opioid Treatment Program where I provided Medication Assisted Treatment for patients with substance use disorders.
I primarily do medication management, in addition to providing some supportive therapy and motivational interviewing in my 30-minute follow-up appointments. I may also suggest bringing in a therapist to add to your care if clinically necessary.

Dr. Hong Chen, MD
My practice is based on a holistic approach to mental health care, with special emphasis on self-care and mindfulness practices in addition to medication treatment. I truly believe that focusing on wellness in conjunction with medication-mediated symptom reduction will lead to better outcomes for patients. I have a lot of experience treating patients with depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, Bipolar type 2, and ADHD, and I often tailor individualized treatment to serve the needs of patients with a variety of conditions. As a result, patients often enjoy the supportive therapy, insight-oriented therapy, and psychoeducation provided during our sessions.
I am a board certified adult psychiatrist and have been in practice since 2010. I received my doctorate degree in medicine at the University of Florida and completed my residency training at the University of Florida, Department of Psychiatry. I am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I have worked mainly in outpatient settings throughout my career.

Dr. Kirk Ramsey, MD
I am board certified in general and child and adolescent psychiatry. My practice primarily focuses on medication management. I see myself as a collaborator with therapists and counselors in caring for their shared patients and their families. While I specialize in working with patients with anxiety, I do not prescribe benzodiazepines.
I received my medical degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN. I completed my residency at West Virginia University Hospitals and WVU School of Medicine and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine, and Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven and Middletown, CT. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Memphis.
After my fellowship, I remained in CT for two additional years, working in the Department of Children and Families, serving the state's at-risk youth and adolescents at a psychiatric residential treatment facility. I then returned to West Virginia University as clinical faculty in its School of Medicine. During that 12-year academic appointment, I had active roles in educating, training, and supervising medical students, general psychiatry residents, child and adolescent psychiatry fellows, and trainees from various disciplines. I worked for many years with adolescent males at both the Dually Diagnosed and Specialized Residential Treatment Centers within West Virginia University Healthcare.

Dr. Maaeesha Pushpita, MD
My approach to care is patient-centered, holistic, empathic, evidence-based, and culturally competent. I value building trust and fostering an environment where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their care. I hold a special interest in college-age populations, women's and reproductive health, trauma-related care, nutritional psychiatry, and psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychopharmacology.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist with experience caring for patients across all age groups in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I earned my medical degree from Northeast Ohio Medical University and completed my psychiatry residency at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital.
In the initial session, I take time to understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals. I carefully rule out underlying physical conditions that may impact mental health and cognitive functioning, and collaborate with patients to identify lifestyle changes that can support their well-being. Treatment plans are tailored, evidence-based, and designed to be practical and achievable.

I am board certified in Adult Psychiatry. I primarily focus on medication management but integrate therapeutic support into my sessions.

Dr. Sheena Dohar, MD
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.

Dr. Tobias Murphy, MD
I approach medication management through the lens of compassionate listening and psychotherapy, seeking to reduce the stigma of mental illness and put patients at ease during their visits. I have experience treating a variety of conditions, including bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, and anxiety. I enjoy working with a diverse population of patients, providing culturally informed care. Follow-up patient visits will include both supportive therapy and medication management during 30-minute encounters.
I am a psychiatrist with Talkiatry, licensed to provide care in Ohio, West Virginia, and New York. I completed medical school and psychiatry residency at Marshall University's School of Medicine, and I have additional training in neuropsychiatry and geriatric psychiatry. During my training, I was actively involved in teaching medical students and residents; my most frequent lectures included LGBT and transgender mental health.

Find a psychiatrist in West Virginia
Talkiatry can connect with a psychiatrist who is licensed in West Virginia and can meet you by secure video. Most people are seen in days, not months, from home and on their own schedule.
How online psychiatry works in West Virginia
You start with a short online assessment, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed to treat people in West Virginia. Your first appointment lasts about 60 minutes, giving you time to walk through your symptoms, ask questions, and build a treatment plan together. Follow-up visits usually run about 30 minutes, so you can check on progress and adjust your plan as needed.
Because your psychiatrist is licensed in West Virginia, you can be seen from anywhere in the state, whether you are in Charleston, Morgantown, or a rural county with few local providers. All visits happen by secure video, so there is no drive and no need to plan around a provider far from home.
What a psychiatrist in West Virginia can help with
A psychiatrist can evaluate and treat a wide range of conditions and work with you on a plan that fits your needs. Talkiatry psychiatrists commonly treat concerns such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD, along with other mental health conditions.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they can prescribe and manage medication as part of your care. Medication is one possible part of a treatment plan, not the automatic result of a visit. Depending on your needs and what is available, therapy may also be part of your plan. Your psychiatrist listens, evaluates, and personalizes care to you.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in West Virginia?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers. During the free online assessment, your coverage is verified before you schedule your first visit, so you know where you stand up front. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan, so it is worth confirming the details with your insurer.
Getting mental health care in West Virginia
West Virginia has 124 designated mental health professional shortage areas covering about 810,000 people, and only about 5.7% of the area's need for psychiatric care is currently met. Federal estimates say roughly 94 more practitioners would be needed to lift those shortage designations (according to KFF as of 12/31/25).
For you, that shortage can mean fewer nearby options and longer waits for an appointment. Online psychiatry helps by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist who can treat you anywhere in West Virginia, rather than limiting you to the providers who happen to practice in your immediate area.
