How it works

Psychiatric Care from Anywhere in Newark

Newark residents have long dealt with limited psychiatric availability — Rutgers, University Hospital, and the larger NJ health systems frequently have 2-4 month wait times for an initial evaluation. Our telehealth practice eliminates the commute from South Ward to a Downtown clinic, the parking hassles on Raymond Boulevard, and the time off work. You log in from the Ironbound, from your apartment near Branch Brook Park, or even on your lunch break near NJPAC.

Every visit is HIPAA-secure video with Zinny Ezete, APRN, PMHNP-BC. No waiting rooms. No missed work shifts. Just real psychiatric care on your schedule.

Frequently asked

Newark Telehealth Psychiatry FAQ

How long does it take to get a psychiatrist appointment in Newark?

Traditional Newark psychiatric providers and hospital-based clinics (Rutgers, University Hospital, Saint Michael's) typically quote 8-16 weeks for a new patient evaluation. Through our telehealth practice, most Newark residents are seen within 5-7 business days of booking.

Does New Jersey insurance cover telehealth psychiatry?

Yes. New Jersey's telehealth parity law (N.J.S.A. 26:2S-29) requires health insurers to reimburse telehealth psychiatric visits at the same rate as in-person visits. Your co-pay, deductible, and coinsurance are identical whether you see your provider on video or in the office.

Can I get an ADHD evaluation in Newark through telehealth?

Yes. Adult and adolescent ADHD evaluations are conducted entirely through secure video using validated DSM-5 criteria and standardized rating scales (ASRS, Vanderbilt). If medication is appropriate, non-controlled options can be prescribed immediately and controlled stimulants can typically be prescribed following NJ telehealth regulations.

I live in the Ironbound and work downtown. What's the process like?

After booking through our Calendly link, you'll receive intake paperwork and a secure video link. Initial evaluations run 60 minutes, follow-ups 20-30 minutes. Many Newark patients log in on a lunch break from their office in the Gateway Center or from home in the Ironbound — no commute, no parking, no waiting room.
