Dr. Brian Cooke is a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. He is focused on telemedicine appointments, which he finds patients appreciate for the flexibility and convenience, enabling them to receive treatments from where they are.

His favorite part of psychiatry is listening to his patients, which helps him work with patients and formulate a treatment plan. He has seen how untreated symptoms of mental illness can interfere with all the aspects of a person’s health. He finds it amazing to help patients recover and return to normal functioning. 

Dr. Brian Cooke views the doctor-patient relationship as a collaboration. For him, this is the foundation of clinical care and can have a profound impact on a patient’s recovery and relief from suffering. With a strong academic background, he can educate a patient on their treatment options and work with his patients to make positive changes. 

While focused on telepsychiatry and treatments utilizing medications, he recognizes not all patients will respond to medications alone or may struggle with side effects. He sees Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and esketamine nasal spray as two treatment options for depression that have proven effective for the right patients.
