As a female psychiatrist providing telemedicine in New York and New Jersey, Dr. Mary Bernardo can be found on verified directories like Psychology Today, Zocdoc, or your health insurance provider's portal. Please search there for her profile and availability to schedule a initial virtual psychiatric evaluation.
Once you've found a suitable in-network professional to conduct a virtual psychiatric evaluation, you can typically book an appointment directly through the directory's platform (like Zocdoc) or by visiting the provider's own website to access their secure scheduling portal.
To find an in-network professional for a virtual psychiatric evaluation, use your insurance provider's official "find a doctor" directory on their website or app. Filter your search specifically for psychiatry and telehealth/online visits to see a list of covered professionals in New York and New Jersey.
To ensure an accurate and uninterrupted assessment during a virtual psychiatric evaluation, you'll need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone (like a smartphone, tablet, or computer), and a private, quiet space. Ensure any required app or video platform is installed and tested before your session.
Licensed psychiatrists in New York or New Jersey can prescribe medication following a comprehensive telehealth assessment. To schedule a virtual psychiatric evaluation, review my medical practice on Psychology Today or Zocdoc and filter for "psychiatry" and "telehealth." Dr. Bernardo is licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey
