Dr. Trudy Hartman, Experienced Psychiatrist in Palo Alto, CA provides diagnostic evaluations and medication treatment. For psychotherapy, I refer my patients to local clinicians. I treat a wide variety of patients with diagnoses including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD/ADD, panic, OCD, and psychotic disorders. A psychiatric evaluation for children and adolescents takes two, sometimes three, one-hour sessions, one for the parents and one or two for the patient.
For adult patients, one session is sometimes enough, particularly for those already in psychotherapy. With the patient's authorization, I contact the therapist to gather further information and coordinate care. I usually book a new patient within one to two weeks of first contact. I am easily accessible by telephone and return calls within one business day.
I provide my Psychiatric Services across Palo Alto, Menlo Park, San Jose, San Mateo & surrounding areas. Experienced: I have over 25 years of experience as a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist.

When meeting with adults, I ask why they are consulting me, and about their goals for the evaluation and subsequent treatment.
I gather the current history of symptoms and how these symptoms are impacting their social, educational, and work lives; past psychiatric history, - which treatments worked and which did not; family psychiatric history, educational, work, and social history, and history of substance use/abuse.
I conduct a detailed mental status exam to gauge the level of depression or anxiety that may be present, if there are any manic symptoms present; whether they have normal, linear thought or if they are psychotic, the quality of their judgment, and whether they are cognitively intact.
