Thomas Sargent

Hi, I'm Thomas Sargent, a board-certified psychiatrist with training from Tulane and Mount Sinai and a background in pharmacology. I provide thoughtful, personalized care and work collaboratively with patients to help them feel heard and confident in their treatment. My approach combines medication management with therapy in every visit, with attention to the whole person, including sleep, exercise, and nutrition. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, and bipolar disorder through a careful, evidence-based approach.

I believe meaningful mental healthcare starts with listening closely, asking the right questions, and creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment. I use brief questionnaires at most visits so that progress is measured rather than guessed at, and I coordinate with your therapist if you already have one. I focus on getting medication right rather than adding more, and on open discussion of what the evidence supports.

Patients can expect their first session to be welcoming, unhurried, and focused on understanding their unique experiences, history, and goals, whether they're seeking care for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatment hasn't helped. During the initial appointment, we will review your symptoms, medical and mental health history, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals to develop a plan together, and I'll share my thinking openly, including if I don't believe medication is the right answer. My goal is for every patient to leave their session feeling supported, informed, and clear about the next steps in their care.
