Dr. Karelis Sierra-Cintron, MD
I am board-certified in adult psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and focus my practice on medication management. I also engage in supportive therapy in a comprehensive way, focusing on the patient as a whole and not just the symptoms. I have a broad understanding of vitamin support as an adjunctive treatment to traditional medication, and I have broadened my understanding of second-line treatment, having been certified in Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), conducting clinics in Clozapine and Long-Acting Antipsychotics (LOA), and conducting assessments for patients interested in weight loss surgery. My approach to treatment is comprehensive, and I may consider the addition of therapy, either by referral or by collaborating with an existing therapist, for a more rounded approach and improved outcome. My current areas of focus are adults with Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Co-Occurring Substance disorders, as well as patients with varied concomitant medical problems.
I received my medical degree from the Universidad Central del Caribe, located in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Upon graduation, I relocated to Philadelphia, where I completed my residency program at Einstein Medical Center. After completing my training, I worked for 8 years in a community mental health clinic, treating an underserved population in all modalities of psychiatric care. Over my 12-year career, I have treated both adult males and females, including seniors, which has led to varied and wide-ranging diagnoses. After leaving the community clinic setting, I began working for an outpatient clinic in a suburb of Philadelphia.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with over 14 years of experience treating adult and older adult patients from a wide variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My practice focuses primarily on medication management, in addition to supportive and cognitive and behavioral therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. Sometimes I will suggest that additional therapy be included in your treatment plan in order to provide the best outcome.

Dr. Laura Rosas, MD
I am an adult psychiatrist at Talkiatry who practices compassionate, patient-centered care. As a multiracial psychiatrist, I serve diverse communities and focus on treatment plans that respect each patient's background. I treat various diagnoses, including trauma, mood, personality, and eating disorders, with a particular interest in the student and LGBTQ+ communities. Using a range of skills and interventions from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mentalization-based therapy (MBT), I prioritize a collaborative approach. I ensure patients are actively involved in shaping their treatment, including decisions about medication and supplements. This cooperation allows for personalized care plans that align with each patient's needs, values, and goals. Recognizing that cultural influences, substance use, financial constraints, and other societal factors impact mental health, I examine these personal aspects to provide effective, holistic care in a non-judgmental space.
I graduated from McGovern Medical School (UT Houston) and completed my residency in psychiatry at the University of Chicago. I aim to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, driving systemic changes in mental health care.

I value open, honest communication and take a collaborative approach to care. I partner with patients to identify clear treatment goals and use symptom screener tools to objectively track progress. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and empathetic environment where patients feel heard, respected, and actively engaged in their treatment journey. In the first session, I work to gain a thorough understanding of each patient's history, current concerns, and long-term goals, and then develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with those goals. My approach balances symptom improvement with medication tolerability and incorporates therapies that further enhance outcomes.

I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in empathy, respect, and curiosity. I value collaboration and open communication, ensuring that patients feel like active partners in their care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel understood as whole people, not defined solely by their symptoms. I also prioritize incorporating cultural background and social determinants of health, including financial stressors and systemic barriers, into treatment planning.
In my work, I begin by taking time to understand each patient's unique story, experiences, and goals. I approach care through a trauma-informed lens and with cultural sensitivity to ensure treatment feels safe, respectful, and relevant. My process integrates evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while tailoring care plans to meet both clinical needs and patient preferences.

Find a psychiatrist in Illinois
Booking a psychiatrist in Illinois often means long waits and a short list of names taking new patients. Talkiatry connects you with a psychiatrist licensed in Illinois whom you see by video, so where you live in the state does not limit your options. Most people start care within days, not months, from home and on their own schedule.
How online psychiatry works in Illinois
You begin with a free online assessment about your history, symptoms, and what you want to work on. From there, you get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Illinois and meet by secure video.
Your first appointment lasts 60 minutes, which gives you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and start building a treatment plan together. Follow-up visits usually run about 30 minutes. Because your psychiatrist is licensed in Illinois, you can be seen from anywhere in the state, as long as you are in Illinois during the visit.
What a psychiatrist in Illinois can help with
A psychiatrist in Illinois can evaluate and treat a wide range of mental health conditions. Talkiatry psychiatrists work with people managing:
* Anxiety, including panic, social anxiety, and constant worry
* Depression, from low mood to loss of interest in daily life
* ADHD, including trouble focusing, restlessness, and follow-through
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they can prescribe and manage medication when it fits your needs. Medication is one possible part of a plan, not the automatic result of a visit. Depending on what you are working on and what is available, therapy may also be part of your care. Your psychiatrist listens, evaluates, and personalizes the approach with you.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Illinois?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, so many patients pay a standard specialist copay rather than out-of-pocket rates. Your coverage is checked during the free assessment before you schedule, so you know where you stand up front. What you pay out of pocket depends on your specific plan, so confirm the details with your insurer.
Getting mental health care in Illinois
Access to care is a real barrier in Illinois. The state has 228 designated mental health professional shortage areas covering about 7.0 million people, and only about 22.9% of the need for psychiatric care is currently met. Federal estimates say about 301 more practitioners would be needed to lift those shortage designations (KFF).
For you, that shortage often shows up as long waits and few local openings. Online psychiatry helps by connecting you with a psychiatrist licensed anywhere in Illinois, rather than limiting you to the handful of providers near your address.
Cities we serve in Illinois

Yes. Talkiatry matches you with a psychiatrist licensed in Illinois, and you meet by secure video from home. You do not need to travel anywhere or sit on a local waitlist to get started.
Do I need to live in Illinois to be seen?

You need to be physically located in Illinois during your visit, because your psychiatrist is licensed to treat patients in the state where you are. If you live in Illinois or are there for your appointments, you can be seen.
Does insurance cover online psychiatry in Illinois?

Often, yes. Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is verified during the free assessment before you schedule. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan, so it is worth confirming the specifics with your insurer.
Can a psychiatrist prescribe medication online in Illinois?

Yes, when it is clinically appropriate and legally permissible. Your psychiatrist evaluates your symptoms and history during the 60-minute first visit and talks through medication options with you. A prescription is never guaranteed, and medication is only one part of a possible treatment plan.
How soon can I be seen?

Many people schedule a first visit within days rather than the months a local practice might require. Your exact timing depends on availability when you complete the assessment and get matched.
