Dr. Brad Novak

Welcome! I specialize in medication management (psychopharmacology) of depression, anxiety disorders, OCD and ADHD of adult patients. I graduated from the Stanford Psychiatry Residency Program in 2004 where I served as chief resident and have been in private practice since 2005. You may learn more about my practice at https://sfpsychiatrylaw.com. Please note that the first appointment is done in my office in Belmont. I talk to prospective clients on the phone before booking the inital intake appointment. I am not able to take all the patients who wish to schedule.

I believe in Irv Yalom's creed: It is the relationship that heals. I strive to provide excellent care with empathy and professionalism. Many of my clients have been long term patients with me for many years.

The first session is focused on developing a diagnostic impression and treatment plan by going over your psychosocial history in depth. Please note: If you wish to schedule an appointment, you need to first call my office at 650-591-2345. The Headway calendar does not reflect my availability in my private practice. I will return your call. I typically have a five to ten minute phone call with all prospective new clients before scheduling a new intake in order to determine if you are a good fit for my practice. When I am calling from outside my office, I will be returning your call from a private/blocked number. The first appointment is done in my Belmont office. When I do Telehealth video follow-up appointments, I use Doxy.Me. I send the link for the session via the Doxy server. You must be in the state of California during Telehealth appointments,
