Care for your mind, rooted close to home.
Shrink Psychiatry is the private practice of Matthew Slattery, MD — now welcoming adult patients across greater New Orleans and all of Louisiana, in person and by video.
Yes, "shrink" — we think seeing a psychiatrist should feel as ordinary as seeing your family doctor.
Straightforward psychiatric care
Every treatment plan starts with a real conversation — about what you're feeling, what you've tried, and what you want to change.
Diagnostic evaluations
A thorough, unhurried first visit to understand your history and arrive at a clear diagnosis — the foundation for everything that follows.
Medication management
Careful prescribing, honest conversations about side effects, and regular follow-ups to make sure your treatment is actually working for you.
Telepsychiatry
Secure video visits from home, work, or anywhere in Louisiana — the same care as in person, without the drive or the waiting room.
Second opinions
If your current treatment has stalled, a fresh set of eyes on your diagnosis and medications can open doors you didn't know were there.
Lab-informed care
When medications call for monitoring, lab work is ordered and reviewed through Quest or Labcorp — no extra legwork on your end.
Therapy coordination
Medication and talk therapy work best together. If you have a therapist, we'll collaborate; if you need one, we'll help you find the right fit.
Medicine that starts with listening.
Dr. Slattery founded Shrink Psychiatry on a simple idea: psychiatric care works best when your doctor genuinely knows you. As a solo physician practice, there's no rotating cast of providers — the doctor who evaluates you is the doctor who follows your care, visit after visit.
Based in Metairie and serving all of Louisiana through telehealth, the practice is built for real life: appointments that start on time, messages that get answered, and treatment plans explained in plain English.
Getting started is simple
Reach out
Request an appointment online or by phone. We'll confirm your insurance and find a time that works — usually within a few days.
Your first visit
A full evaluation, in person or by video. Come as you are; bring your questions, your history, and anything you've tried before.
Ongoing care
A clear plan with scheduled follow-ups. Adjustments happen with you, not to you — and you always know what the next step is.
Adult psychiatry, broadly practiced
Common reasons people come to the practice — if you don't see yours, reach out and ask.
The practice treats adults. If you're seeking care for a child or adolescent, contact us and we'll point you toward trusted colleagues.
Designed to work with your insurance.
Shrink Psychiatry is an insurance-based practice — mental health care shouldn't be a luxury good. Bring your plan details when you reach out and we'll verify your coverage before your first visit.
Accepted plans
Plan list to be added once credentialing is finalized — in the meantime, contact us with your insurance card and we'll confirm your benefits directly.
Ready when you are.
New patient appointments are open ahead of our launch. Reach out and we'll get back to you within one business day.
