Psychiatry


Psychiatry is an area of medicine involving the study, diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders. A person's mental health is influenced by a combination of factors that are both specific to an individual as well as related to interactions with society, community, and family. There are several components to mental well being including a healthy self esteem, communication skills and the development of resilience.


Mental health problems should not be perceived as mere weaknesses that a person can simply overcome, as they can be highly problematic and disabling conditions and affect a large proportion of the population worldwide. Mental health issues need to be addressed and treated before they cause severe disruption to families, relationships and communities.

frequently asked questions

  • Why should I choose Blue Umbrella Psychiatry?

    If you are like many of our patients, you’ve been frustrated with previous psychiatry services and unable to find meaningful or lasting relief from symptoms that make life unpleasant. All of that is about to change.


    Dr. Eric Robbins founded Blue Umbrella Psychiatry after years of working in a fragmented and uncompassionate mental healthcare industry. He noted that patients aligning with disconnected physicians and therapists led to poor communication, mixed messages, and ineffective care. Blue Umbrella Psychiatry was formed to offer all mental health services under one roof, with providers collaborating and patients caring for the whole person.


    If you are looking for a psychiatry service provider who truly cares, then look no further than Blue Umbrella Psychiatry.

  • I don't want to be on medication. Can I still be a patient of the practice?

    We understand that medications can be stigmatizing and may have potential side effects, and we respect our patients' preferences regarding their treatment. While our providers may recommend medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, the final decision is always up to you.


    In addition to medication, we offer a range of non-medicinal treatment options to support your mental health journey, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and various therapy modalities. Our primary goal is to help you achieve better mental health and wellbeing, and we will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your preferences and needs.

  • What will the first appointment look like?

    At the first appointment, you can expect to meet with at least one clinician who will perform a thorough evaluation. Following this assessment, a diagnosis will be provided along with a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

  • To what extent are parents involved in their child's care?

    A family-centered approach to treatment is something we believe in at Blue Umbrella Psychiatry. Parents play a crucial part in their child's care, and the success of the situation depends on their active participation. Beginning with a first evaluation when they offer significant insights, we appreciate parents as partners. We create individualized treatment programs together and provide chances for both group and individual therapy sessions. We also give parents the information and assistance they need to support the mental health of their children. Continuous cooperation and communication make sure that parents are aware of and involved in the process. We stand out because of our dedication to family participation and our understanding of the importance of a nurturing home environment for a child's well-being.

  • What is the difference between psychiatry and therapy?

    Psychiatry and therapy are two ways of addressing mental health issues, but they differ in their approach, focus, and the professionals involved. Psychiatry involves using medications and medical treatments to manage mental health conditions. Therapy, on the other hand, focuses on talking and problem-solving techniques to help individuals cope with emotional or behavioral issues. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have completed medical school followed by years of specialized training in psychiatry. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners and Psychiatrists can prescribe medications. Therapists include various professionals like psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, or licensed professional counselors, who have different educational backgrounds and are trained in counseling and psychotherapy techniques. 

  • From what age and up do you treat?

    At Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, we provide treatment for individuals from the age of 5 and above. We understand that mental health concerns can affect people of various age groups, and we are committed to addressing the needs of children, adolescents, and adults alike. Our expert team of specialists is experienced in dealing with individuals throughout all phases of development and adjusting our approaches accordingly. Whether it's assisting young children with behavioral challenges, supporting teenagers facing emotional difficulties, or providing care for adults navigating mental health issues, we strive to offer comprehensive and compassionate treatment. We want to provide effective assistance and foster well-being for people and families throughout their lifetimes, which is why we start providing services from age 5.

  • Are you a virtual or in-person practice?

    We are primarily an in-person clinic with the capability to do telehealth sessions on occasion on an as-needed basis. For the initial evaluation and subsequent follow-up sessions, you will need to be present for in-person sessions. As such we suggest that you be in close enough proximity to our clinic.
