Dr. Victor Arballo, DO
I provide evidence-based medication management and psychotherapy to address mental health conditions. I am a strong advocate for patient autonomy, quality improvement, and psychoeducation.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist who completed medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. I received residency training at University of Texas Health - San Antonio, where in addition to clinical training I was appointed resident chair of the Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Committee. Since graduation, I have been a staff psychiatrist and the military unit director at Cumberland Hall Hospital, providing comprehensive care to child, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients.
Dr. Zafar Zaidi, MD
My goal when working with patients is to not come to a generic diagnosis; rather, it is to get to know about the client and try and manage their symptoms in the best way possible. Overall, the process is collaborative, and both parties need to be comfortable with the decisions moving forward. I enjoy getting to learn about patients and working collaboratively to provide the best treatment possible, be it medications or talk therapy. I have vast experience treating Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, among many others.
I graduated residency from University Hospitals/Case Western Reserve University in 2015. After residency, I worked at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center as a staff psychiatrist. I eventually took on the role of Mental Health Lead Psychiatrist and Interim Clinic Director at the Tomball VA Outpatient Clinic. I then transferred to a telepsychiatry role at VISN 15, providing mental health coverage for rural areas in Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois. I have over 15 years of experience in treating different mental health conditions and am currently board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
I reside in Houston, Texas and enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, and watching/playing sports such as Football, Basketball, and Soccer.
Find a psychiatrist in Ohio
Getting mental health help in Ohio shouldn’t mean a monthslong wait for a psychiatrist. Talkiatry connects you with a psychiatrist licensed in Ohio, so you can be seen from anywhere in the state by secure video. You meet from home, on your own schedule, and many patients get a first visit in days rather than months.
How online psychiatry works in Ohio
You start with a short online assessment about your history, symptoms, and goals. From there, you are matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Ohio and meet by secure video from home.
Your first appointment lasts 60 minutes, giving you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and work with your psychiatrist on a plan. Follow-up visits are usually about 30 minutes, so you can check on progress and adjust the plan as needed. Because your psychiatrist is licensed in Ohio, you can be seen from any part of the state without a drive to an office.
What a psychiatrist in Ohio can help with
An online psychiatrist in Ohio can evaluate and treat a range of mental health conditions. Talkiatry psychiatrists work with patients on concerns such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD, along with other conditions.
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 your needs and what is available, therapy may also be part of your care. Your psychiatrist listens first, evaluates your symptoms, and personalizes treatment to you.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Ohio?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is verified during the free assessment before you schedule. That way you know where you stand before your first visit.
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan. Because plans differ, it helps to contact your insurance company for a detailed estimate of what you would pay.
Getting mental health care in Ohio
Finding local care in Ohio can be slow. As of December 31, 2025, Ohio had 138 designated mental health professional shortage areas covering about 5.54 million people, and only about 33.7% of the need for psychiatric care was met. HRSA estimates that roughly 247 more practitioners would be needed to remove those shortage designations (according to KFF as of 12/31/25).
For you, that shortage often means long waits or few options close by. Online psychiatry helps expand access by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist anywhere in Ohio, rather than limiting you to providers in your immediate area.
