A warm and engaging psychiatric practice

Adult ADHD, anxiety, and depression — telemedicine in California and New York.

I'm a board-certified adult psychiatrist with more than 10,000 hours in psychiatric emergency settings and 10 years in private practice. The work is collaborative, the pace is yours, and medication is one part of a larger picture.

What I work on

Areas of focus

Adult ADHD, anxiety, and depression — sometimes alone, often together. The work is collaborative; the entry point is whichever of these brought you here.

There's more to psychiatry than medication

How I work

Medication is one tool. The relationship between us is another. Therapy with someone else is often a third. They tend to do better together than any of them alone.

Evidence-Based Medication Management

Methodical, conservative, and explained. The first question is always how and whether — not what — to prescribe. We move slowly enough to learn what's actually changing.

AEDP-Informed Relational Care

AEDP — a relational, emotion-focused approach to psychotherapy — shapes how I work even in medication-focused appointments. Attachment-aware, emotion-aware, and present in the room with you.

Mindfulness as Practice

Slowing down to meet what's actually here — in the body, in the breath, in what's happening between us. Simple, but not necessarily easy. A quiet through-line in everything.

About the practice

A few things worth knowing about how I work.

Dr. Armando León

I'm a board-certified adult psychiatrist trained at UCSF and the San Mateo County psychiatric residency. I've spent more than 10,000 hours in psychiatric emergency settings, and I've been in private outpatient practice since 2019.

I'm Level 1 AEDP-trained — Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, a relational and emotion-focused approach to therapy — which informs how I work even when the appointment's main purpose is medication.

The substance of the psychiatrist you're working with is a key factor in your healing and growth. The about page is the longer version of who I am and how I think about this work.
