Evidence-based adult psychiatry for Yamhill County — specializing in adult ADHD, depression, anxiety, and thoughtful medication management. New patients are typically seen within about a day at our Newberg office.
Our Newberg practice was built around the idea that adults in smaller Oregon cities shouldn't have to wait six months — or drive all the way to Portland — for quality psychiatric care. We keep our schedule intentionally paced, with reserved new-patient slots each week, so most people looking for help can be seen within a few days by telehealth.
We see adults across Yamhill County, including many who work in wine country hospitality, teach at George Fox, or practice medicine at Providence Newberg. Common reasons patients come to us: a first-time ADHD evaluation, long-standing depression that hasn't responded to one or two medication trials, anxiety that's interfering with work, or a second opinion on a complex medication regimen.
First visits are unhurried — with enough time to do a proper diagnostic interview before we write any prescriptions. Follow-ups are scheduled based on how you're actually doing, not on a rigid 4-week template. If you're stable, we space them out. If something changes, we see you sooner.
Comprehensive evaluation with validated rating scales. Stimulant and non-stimulant options. DEA-compliant monitoring for controlled medications.
Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, postpartum depression, and treatment-resistant depression.
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and health anxiety — with sustainable, non-habit-forming medication strategies.
Ongoing attentive follow-ups for adults already on psychiatric medication — including complex regimens that need simplification.
Can't make the drive? Every Newberg clinician also offers secure telehealth visits across Oregon — so you can see the same provider from McMinnville, Hillsboro, or anywhere in the state.

Most people arrive at psychiatric care after a long stretch of trying to manage on their own. Whatever point of the mental health journey you are at — a first evaluation, a second opinion after a medication that did not work, or picking treatment back up after a gap of years — the process here is the same.
A full 60 minutes, in person at our Newberg office or by secure video, whichever you prefer. We cover current symptoms, history, sleep, medical background, prior treatment, and what you want out of care. Validated rating scales — the ASRS for ADHD, PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, PCL-5 for trauma — give a measurable baseline instead of an impression. You leave with a diagnosis or a clear route to one, and a plan discussed rather than announced.
Where psychiatric medication is the right step, we explain the options, the realistic timeline, and the trade-offs before anything is prescribed. Antidepressants take four to six weeks to reach full effect; ADHD medication works within days but requires titration and monitoring. We are conservative with benzodiazepines and clear about why. Prescriptions go electronically to your Newberg-area pharmacy the same day.
Follow-up is one week after your initial visit, then every two weeks while a dose is being adjusted after any medication change, then spaced to match how you are doing. We repeat the same rating scales so progress is measured rather than guessed. Where therapy belongs alongside medication we say so and help with the referral, and we send a visit summary to your primary care provider within one business day when you request it.
Insurance is verified before your first visit so the cost is known in advance. We are in-network with six major plans in Oregon and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement; the Oregon Health Plan is not accepted.
What we are not: a crisis service, an inpatient program, or a child and adolescent practice. We see adults 18 and over across Yamhill County, and we will say plainly when someone would be better served elsewhere. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
