Joshua Weasen, MD

Joshua Weasen, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I believe in tailoring treatment to each person's needs, and in seeing beyond the diagnosis and focusing on the individual first and foremost. I primarily treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and insomnia. I provide a combination of medication management and supportive psychotherapy. Occasionally, I may work with you on finding additional support as well, including bringing on a dedicated therapist as part of your treatment team.

I am a board-eligible adult psychiatrist with Talkiatry. I received my medical degree from Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, then moved to Washington, D.C. to complete my residency training at Saint Elizabeths Hospital, where I served as Chief Resident during my final year. I am a member of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and have presented at the APA Annual Meeting on the topic of virtual fatigue. I have had extensive experience working with a wide array of patients, including college/graduate students, geriatric patients, military veterans, and LGBTQ+ populations.

Karelis Sierra-Cintron, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

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.

Katherine Vital-Daley, MD

Katherine Vital-Daley, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

My approach is rooted in a collaborative treatment model. I work closely with patients, exploring past and current stressors and any relevant medical conditions to develop a comprehensive understanding of their individual needs. Recognizing the importance of cultural competency, I incorporate patients' unique backgrounds, beliefs, and core values into their care plans. In my practice, I employ supportive psychotherapy and mindfulness along with evidence-based medication management, utilizing the most current clinical guidelines and treatment modalities.

I am an adult psychiatrist at Talkiatry. I treat all adults, and my passion lies in providing accessible care for women facing challenges throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum and in reproductive psychiatry. My academic background is rooted in science, with an undergraduate degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of California, Merced. I then pursued my medical doctorate at the Medical University of the Americas. Following medical school, I completed my psychiatry residency training. The first two years were spent at East Carolina University, Brody School of Medicine, with a culmination of my last two years of residency at Allegheny Health Network in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to further specialize in women's mental health, which solidified my expertise in this vital area.

At Allegheny Health Network's Women's Behavioral Health clinic, I honed my skills in treating a range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and related issues, and served as a medical provider for their intensive perinatal/postpartum outpatient clinic. I also developed a deep understanding of perinatal mental health, supporting patients coping with perinatal loss and traumatic birthing experiences.

Kristina Eipl, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to both medication management and psychotherapy. I enjoy utilizing various forms of psychotherapy to empower individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives, and I particularly enjoy incorporating elements of supportive, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapies in all visits. I practice thoughtful and evidence-based medication management. I enjoy working with students and adults with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and mood disorders, and I also have a special interest in women's mental health.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist. I completed my undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins University, where I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelor's in neuroscience, and I later attended medical school at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. My interest in neuroscience, combined with a passion for the humanistic side of medicine, led me to pursue a psychiatry residency at NYU, where I gained experience working with a diverse patient population. After completing residency in 2018, I chose to pursue private practice to allow more time with patients and to build on my interest in psychotherapy. I spent over 6 years in solo and group private practice in Los Angeles. I am committed to working with insurance-based practices, as I am passionate about providing affordable access to quality healthcare.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized mental health care. I particularly enjoy helping individuals dealing with insomnia, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and medical trauma.

My treatment approach is rooted in shared decision-making, prioritizing patient goals and preferences to create customized care plans, which typically include psychotherapy in combination with medication. I often integrate evidence-based lifestyle modifications and natural treatments to optimize personal well-being. By taking a holistic view of my patients' challenges, I empower them to lead their most fulfilling lives.

Lorraine Wharton-Mohammed, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I view each patient and their caregiver's circumstance as unique. I take a holistic and collaborative approach to help patients understand their options. While the focus may be on psychoeducation and medication management with supportive and psychodynamic therapeutic interventions, there may be a need for additional therapy, and I may ask that a therapist be added to the treatment team. I work towards establishing a meaningful, trusting relationship.

I am double board certified in General Psychiatry as well as Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I have worked in various settings with culturally diverse populations, with a primary focus on caring for children in outpatient programs. I have spent over ten years as an administrative leader, having chaired and co-chaired committees overseeing the practice of fellow psychiatrists and served as Discipline Chief.

Find a psychiatrist in Pittsburgh, PA

Waiting months for a psychiatrist appointment in Pittsburgh is common, and it can feel like the hardest part of getting help. Talkiatry connects you with a licensed psychiatrist who treats people across Pennsylvania by video, so you can be seen from home anywhere in the Pittsburgh area or across the state.

Online psychiatry for Pittsburgh residents

Getting started is straightforward. You answer a few questions online about your location, what you are dealing with, and your mental health history, then you get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Pennsylvania. Visits happen over secure video from home, so a psychiatrist across the state is as reachable as one in your neighborhood.

Your first appointment lasts 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 you can check in on how treatment is working and adjust as needed. Because your psychiatrist is licensed in Pennsylvania, you can be seen from anywhere in the state, including any Pittsburgh neighborhood.

What a psychiatrist can help with

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who evaluate what you are experiencing, work with you on a diagnosis, and build a treatment plan around your needs. Depending on your situation, that plan may include medication, and therapy may be part of it too when it fits your goals and availability. Talkiatry psychiatrists treat a range of conditions, including:

  • Anxiety, including ongoing worry, panic, and social anxiety
  • Depression, from persistent low mood to loss of interest in daily life
  • ADHD, including trouble focusing, organizing, and following through
  • Bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD

If you are searching for an anxiety psychiatrist or an ADHD psychiatrist in Pittsburgh, this is the same online care, matched to what you are dealing with.

Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Pittsburgh?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers. During your free assessment, your coverage is checked before you schedule, so you know where you stand up front. What you pay out of pocket depends on your specific plan, so it is worth contacting your insurer for an estimate of any copay or deductible. If you have been looking for a psychiatrist in Pittsburgh that takes insurance, online care is one way to use your existing benefits without a long search.

Mental health care in Pittsburgh

Access to psychiatric care is tight across Pennsylvania. The state has 128 designated mental health Health Professional Shortage Areas covering about 1.02 million people, and only about 32.1% of the need for psychiatric care is currently met (KFF State Health Facts, as of December 31, 2025). That gap is one reason appointments can be hard to find near you. Online psychiatry helps by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist anywhere in Pennsylvania, rather than limiting your options to the providers in your immediate area.

Psychiatry across Pennsylvania

Pittsburgh is one of many Pennsylvania communities Talkiatry serves. For the full list of psychiatrists licensed statewide, see our Pennsylvania psychiatry page. If you are closer to the eastern side of the state, you can also find online psychiatrists serving Philadelphia.

Common questions about psychiatric care in Pittsburgh, PA

Can I see a psychiatrist online in Pittsburgh?

Yes. Talkiatry matches you with a psychiatrist licensed in Pennsylvania, and you meet over secure video from home. You can be seen from anywhere in the Pittsburgh area, with no office visit required.

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?

No. You can start on your own by taking the free online assessment. You do not need a referral from your primary care doctor to get matched and schedule a first visit.

Does insurance cover online psychiatry in Pittsburgh?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, including Medicare. Your coverage is verified during the free assessment before you schedule, and your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan, so check with your insurer for an estimate.

Can I get a prescription from an online psychiatrist in Pittsburgh?

A psychiatrist can prescribe and manage medication when it is clinically appropriate and legally permitted. Medication is one possible part of a treatment plan, not an automatic outcome, and a prescription is never guaranteed.

Why is it so hard to get a psychiatry appointment near me?

Pennsylvania has a shortage of psychiatric providers, with only about 32.1% of the need for care currently met (KFF State Health Facts, as of December 31, 2025). Online psychiatry helps by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist statewide, not just those near you.

How quickly can I see a psychiatrist in Pittsburgh?

Many people are matched and scheduled within days rather than months. Timing depends on your needs and availability, so we cannot promise an exact date, but online care usually means a shorter wait than a local office.
