TELEPSYCHIATRY
Harmony in Every Mind, Mental Wellness Within Reach
We are aware that transportation problems, trouble taking time off work, and a lack of childcare are among the most prevalent obstacles to mental health treatment.
Directly removing these obstacles is the goal of Astravant Psychiatry. Each visit is like a virtual home call because patients can have their appointments brought to them instead of to them.
A telepsychiatry appointment can be accessed from any location with an internet-connected device, such as a computer or smartphone.

TESTIMONIALS
J.M.
SUCESS STORY FOR ADHD
My experience with NP Vinessa Finch at Astravant Psychiatry has been very helpful for my ADHD. I used to struggle a lot with staying focused, organizing tasks, and finishing things on time. It was starting to affect my work and personal life in a big way. She took the time to really listen and understand how my symptoms show up day to day. I appreciated that she didn’t rush the appointment and explained everything clearly.
After starting treatment, I’ve noticed a real improvement in my ability to focus and manage my responsibilities. Things still take effort, but I feel more structured and less overwhelmed. She also helped me understand how ADHD affects my thinking, which made things make more sense to me. I feel more in control of my routine now. Overall, it has been a very supportive experience.
L.S.
SUCESS STORY FOR DEPRESSION
NP Vinessa Finch has been very supportive in helping me manage my depression. Before starting care, I was feeling low most of the time and had very little motivation to do daily tasks. Even simple things felt overwhelming, and I didn’t really know where to start. She created a space where I felt safe talking about everything without being judged. I really appreciated how patient and understanding she was throughout the process.
Over time, I’ve started to feel small but meaningful improvements in my mood. She helped me break things down into manageable steps instead of trying to fix everything at once. That made it easier for me to stay consistent with my treatment. I also feel more hopeful about my progress now than I did before. I’m grateful for the care and support I’ve received.

SUCESS STORY FOR ANXIETY
My experience with NP Vinessa Finch has been very reassuring while dealing with OCD. I used to have a lot of intrusive thoughts that made me feel anxious and stuck in repetitive patterns. It was exhausting and difficult to explain to others, but she made it easy for me to talk about. She listened carefully and helped me understand what was happening without making me feel ashamed. That alone made a big difference in how I approached treatment.
She explained my condition in a way that was clear and easy to understand, which helped reduce a lot of my confusion. I liked how she focused on realistic steps I could take instead of overwhelming me with too much at once. Over time, I’ve noticed I’m able to manage my thoughts better. The compulsions don’t control me as much as they used to. I feel more stable and supported in my progress.

SUCESS STORY FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER
Before finding NP Vinessa Gaerlan-Finch, I struggled with extreme mood changes that affected nearly every part of my life. There were periods when I felt energetic and impulsive, followed by times when I had very little motivation and wanted to isolate myself. It was difficult for my family and friends to understand what I was going through. During my first appointment, NP Vinessa listened carefully and asked questions that helped me feel understood. I appreciated how thorough she was in explaining bipolar disorder and discussing treatment options. For the first time, I felt like I had a provider who truly understood my experience.
Over the past several months, I have noticed a significant improvement in my mood stability. She has worked closely with me to find the right treatment plan and has always been available to address my concerns during follow-up appointments. What stands out most is how compassionate and patient she is. She never makes me feel rushed and always takes the time to make sure I understand my care. My relationships and daily functioning have improved because of the support I've received. I am incredibly grateful for the care provided at Astravant Psychiatry.

SUCESS STORY FOR PANIC DISORDER
For years, I struggled with panic attacks that seemed to come out of nowhere. They affected my work, social life, and even simple daily activities because I was constantly worried about when the next one would happen. Working with NP Vinessa has made a tremendous difference in my life. She took the time to understand my symptoms and explained panic disorder in a way that finally made sense to me. I never felt dismissed or told that I was overreacting. Instead, I felt validated and supported from the very first visit.
As treatment progressed, I began to feel more confident managing my anxiety and panic symptoms. NP Vinessa worked with me to develop a plan that felt realistic and manageable. She is patient, compassionate, and always willing to answer questions. What I appreciate most is that she genuinely cares about how I am doing between appointments.
