Why I started Rizzuto Psychiatry and Wellness

I have spent my career as a physician assistant listening to people on some of the hardest days of their lives. Again and again I saw the same thing: people who needed help waiting months for an appointment, then getting fifteen rushed minutes with someone who barely looked up. I knew I wanted to build something different.

Rizzuto Psychiatry and Wellness is a telehealth practice, which means we meet by video from wherever you are in California. No waiting rooms, no long drives, no taking a whole day off work. Just a real conversation in a place where you feel comfortable.

My promise is simple: care that listens first. We will talk about what you are going through, what you have tried, and what matters to you. If medication makes sense, I will explain your options clearly, including benefits, risks, and alternatives, and we will decide together. I also believe in using the lowest dose that works, because feeling like yourself matters more than checking a box.

I believe you are chosen and that you have greatness within you. That is not just a line on this website. It is how I see every person I work with. If you are reading this and wondering whether to reach out, consider this your sign.
