As a board-certified psychiatrist and avid gamer, I provide consulting services to help creators depict mental health and substance use disorders authentically.
When it comes to portraying mental health in the media, accuracy and professionalism matter. As a board-certified psychiatrist, I bring clinical expertise and hands-on experience across diverse treatment environments.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of mental health care providers, treating individuals with dozens of different psychiatric diagnoses. My medical training, including specialty expertise and direct experience with treatment approaches and medications, sets me apart from other consultants, allowing me to provide a uniquely informed perspective.
I am also working to expand the mental health field through my current research in AI and morality, and will provide insights for your creative work including AI induced delusions and psychosis like states, the benefits and perils of the growing human connection with AI, and the depiction of human-like mental health concerns such as hallucinations in AI characters.
I carefully review scripts to identify inaccuracies, stereotypes, or language that may perpetuate stigma. My feedback helps writers and producers create more realistic and empathetic portrayals of mental health.
My script review services are perfect for anyone looking to avoid misrepresentations and strengthen their overall story with insights from a board-certified psychiatrist.
If you’re developing a video game, film, or other media project, I provide in-depth analysis through full playthroughs or viewings. My written recommendations, followed by a video call, help you refine your content to better represent mental health themes.
In my analysis, I will:
I review content for potential triggers and harmful stereotypes, offering clear recommendations on when and how to use warnings responsibly. This ensures your project respects its audience, maintains sensitivity without compromising creativity, and demonstrates your commitment to ethical and responsible storytelling.
If you’re developing a training module, educational resource, or public-facing content, it’s important that the information on mental health is accurate and evidence-based.
I provide comprehensive reviews of educational materials to ensure they reflect current psychiatric knowledge and avoid outdated or harmful terminology.
Looking to train your creative team, studio, or organization on how to portray mental health responsibly in games, film, or digital media?
I offer workshops designed to educate creators on common misconceptions, how to avoid harmful stereotypes, and how to create authentic character portrayals. These interactive sessions combine clinical expertise with media analysis to provide practical tools your team can apply immediately.
I offer a free 30-minute video consultation to discuss your project and goals.
From there, I provide a written estimate of the time required and the hourly rate. Cost estimates can also be provided in the form of a flat fee, based on the estimated amount of time your project is expected to take. We’ll always consider and review your budget and resources during our initial, free consultation. My promise to you is that I will provide efficient, thorough services to ensure you obtain the best value for your project.
My services do not include medical or legal advice. My liability will be limited to the amount paid for this project, and I will not be liable for any adverse medical outcomes relating to your content (for example, if a person who consumes your content would harm themselves).
