Seth Sherman, MD
At the heart of my clinical approach is a strong emphasis on establishing trust, rapport, and therapeutic alliance to help persons to feel and live well and to progress toward their goals, both in treatment and in life. I begin with consultation, a compassionate, collaborative process of discovery that culminates in a working diagnostic impression and, in turn, treatment recommendations. For those with whom I engage in a treatment relationship, I provide psychoeducation, medication management, and individual psychotherapy, this last modality predominantly drawing from both psychodynamic and behavioral psychological models to tailor treatment to each patient. On some occasions, I may believe that additional therapy is needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist who has been in practice for over ten years. I received my medical degree from Stanford University and went on to complete my residency in psychiatry at Harvard University. After completing training, I cultivated a private practice of psychiatry in San Francisco, California, treating persons with a variety of psychiatric illnesses, while also providing consultation and clinical supervision to psychotherapists in day-treatment and office-based practices. I then served as a psychiatry professor at the Florida Atlantic University Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine in Florida, where, as Associate Director of the Psychiatry Residency Training Program, I provided psychiatric inpatient treatment while bringing leadership, scholarship, teaching, supervision, and mentoring to psychiatry residents and medical students. Most recently, I worked as a senior medical officer/consultant psychiatrist in New Zealand's public health system, serving local communities with expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions. I also continued to supervise U.S.-based psychiatrists, along with New Zealand psychotherapists, in advanced and complex clinical psychopharmacology and psychotherapy.

Thomas Rodriguez, MD
I specialize in treating depression and anxiety. I acknowledge that while medications can be necessary, they are not magic, and a holistic approach is essential for achieving mental health. With this understanding, I spend time getting to know my patients, focusing on helping them achieve mental wellness rather than simply prescribing medications. When I became a doctor, I made a pledge to "do no harm." I take this commitment seriously and only prescribe medications, especially those with addictive properties, when it is safe and clearly indicated.
The first one or two appointments focus on a thorough assessment to establish a provisional diagnosis, which is essential for effective treatment planning. Once this initial diagnosis is made, I collaborate with my patients to develop tailored treatment recommendations. During follow-up appointments, I actively listen to my patients and propose adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.

Find a psychiatrist in Los Angeles, CA
Booking a psychiatrist in Los Angeles can mean weeks of calls and long waits for an new patient appointment. Talkiatry connects you with a psychiatrist licensed in California who sees Los Angeles residents by video, so you can start from home instead of chasing a nearby opening. Because your care is online, you are not limited to the few practices with space in your part of the city.
Online psychiatry for Los Angeles residents
You start by answering a few questions about your location, your concerns, and your history, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in California and schedule a video visit. Your first appointment runs 60 minutes, which gives you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and work with your psychiatrist on a plan that fits your life. Follow-ups are usually about 30 minutes, so ongoing care stays easy to keep up with around work and family.
There is no Los Angeles office to drive to and no waiting room. You meet your psychiatrist over secure video from wherever you are in the city, which means a missed appointment does not have to mean weeks until the next one.
What a psychiatrist can help with
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can evaluate your symptoms, make a diagnosis, and prescribe and manage medication when it fits your needs. Talkiatry psychiatrists treat a wide range of conditions, and medication is one possible part of a plan, not the automatic result of a visit. Depending on what you are dealing with, your plan may also include therapy, and your psychiatrist will talk through the options with you.
Common reasons Los Angeles residents reach out include:
- Anxiety, including constant worry, panic, and anxiety that gets in the way of daily life
- Depression, including low mood, loss of interest, and trouble functioning
- ADHD, including trouble focusing, organizing, and following through
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Los Angeles?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is checked during the free assessment before you schedule a visit. You will not need to look up your plan details ahead of time. What you pay out of pocket depends on your specific plan, so confirm the details with your insurer for an estimate that matches your coverage.
Mental health care in Los Angeles
Getting an appointment can be hard because California is short on psychiatric care. The state had 627 designated mental health Health Professional Shortage Areas covering about 11.54 million people, and only about 23.5% of the need for psychiatric care was being met (according to KFF as of 12/31/25). For you, that shortage is one reason a local search turns up long waits or closed practices. Online psychiatry helps by connecting you with a psychiatrist licensed in California, rather than limiting your options to the providers with an opening in your immediate area.
