A conversation you can feel comfortable having
Finding the right words can be difficult when you are worried about your mood, attention, sleep, or your child’s wellbeing. Language should not add another barrier. Hamed Hossainian, PMHNP-BC, offers psychiatric evaluation and medication management in English, Farsi, and Dari by telehealth across New York State.
You can use the language you prefer, or move between languages during the conversation. Your background and preferences matter, but they do not define the whole of your care. People of all cultures and beliefs are welcome.
What psychiatric care can help you understand
An evaluation is a chance to understand your concerns, medical and mental health history, and the effect symptoms have on everyday life. We can discuss anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, changes in mood, or concerns related to stressful experiences. Treatment recommendations depend on the individual assessment.
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management are different from ongoing talk therapy. When useful, care can be coordinated with your therapist, primary-care clinician, or pediatrician, with appropriate permission. An appointment does not automatically mean a diagnosis or a prescription.
Children, adolescents, and adults
Care is available for children, adolescents, and adults. For a child or teenager, the conversation may include development, school, family routines, sleep, and information from a parent or guardian. Contact the practice to confirm whether the service is appropriate for your child’s age and needs.
Family involvement, consent, and confidentiality are discussed according to the patient’s age, circumstances, and applicable requirements. For adults, family participation is based on the patient’s preferences and appropriate permission.
Telehealth throughout New York
Appointments take place by secure video, not at an in-person office. You must be physically in New York State for your appointment. Choose a private space and a device with a camera, microphone, and reliable internet connection.
Let the practice know your preferred language when requesting an appointment. The online booking platform may display information in English; call if you need help understanding the booking steps. The practice is not an emergency service.
Insurance and self-pay
Insurance and self-pay options are available. Contact the practice to confirm participation in your specific plan, expected out-of-pocket costs, and current self-pay fees before your appointment. A listing of an insurer does not guarantee coverage for every plan or service.
Appointments, prescriptions, and insurance coverage are subject to clinical assessment and applicable requirements. Please do not send detailed medical information through ordinary email or public social-media messages.
Common questions
Can my appointment be in Farsi or Dari?
Yes. Hamed Hossainian offers appointments in English, Farsi, and Dari. Let the practice know which language you prefer when requesting an appointment.
Do you only see Persian or Afghan patients?
No. The practice welcomes patients of all backgrounds. Language access is an additional option, not a condition for receiving care.
Can you see me outside New York?
These services are offered to patients physically located in New York State during their appointment. Contact the practice before booking if you are unsure about eligibility.
Will I be required to take medication?
No treatment is selected automatically. Your evaluation, goals, preferences, and the benefits and risks of available options guide the discussion.
