Online psychotherapy and psychiatry in California and New York

Online care in California and New York

Dr. Figueroa is licensed to practice medicine in both California and New York. He offers video appointments for patients located in either state at the time of the visit, as well as in-person visits at his Westwood office. Online sessions can include psychotherapy and, when appropriate, discussion and management of medication within that treatment.

Because the practice operates on Pacific Time, some New York patients find later-day appointment times especially convenient. When you contact the practice, please mention that you are interested in video visits, where you will be located, and whether you prefer a later appointment.

Make room for the session

Choose a quiet place where you can speak freely and give the conversation your attention. A charged device, reliable connection, and headphones if helpful can make the experience more comfortable.

You will receive the relevant appointment and connection instructions from the practice. If you have concerns about the technology or about finding enough privacy, bring them up before the visit so we can discuss the practical arrangements.

Decide together what works

A video visit and an office visit can feel different. Some people find it easier to attend consistently from home; others value the separation and setting of the office. Your experience of the format is a useful part of the treatment discussion.

Tell the practice before an appointment if you will be traveling or your location will change, so availability of care can be confirmed. Do not assume that the same arrangements apply from every location.
