Your Trusted Maui Telepsychiatrist for PTSD and More
You're not alone. Many people in Maui face real challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or mood swings, but aren't sure where to turn or how to begin. The idea of walking into a clinic can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already dealing with mental or emotional stress. What if expert psychiatric care could reach you wherever you are, at home, in your car, or even on the beach?
That’s exactly what I offer. I'm Dr. Scott Gladstone, a licensed adult psychiatrist, and I provide personalized telepsychiatry services to patients across Maui. You can now receive psychiatric care without having to leave your home.
My Approach: Human Connection, Online Convenience
I believe mental healthcare should be accessible, private, and most importantly, personal. With over 30 years of experience treating adults ages 18 to 64, I’ve developed a telepsychiatry approach that puts your comfort, dignity, and trust at the center of every session. I understand that seeking help for emotional or mental health concerns is a big step, and I strive to make that process as smooth and welcoming as possible.
Using your phone, laptop, or tablet, we can connect from anywhere in Maui — whether you're at home, on a lunch break, or simply in a space where you feel safe. There’s no need to commute or sit in waiting rooms. Instead, we meet face-to-face virtually in a setting that works best for you.
I take the time to truly listen to your concerns, understand your history, and discuss what you're experiencing now. Whether you're navigating long-standing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma from abuse, or attention-related challenges like ADD or ADHD, I offer thoughtful care that goes beyond a quick prescription. My goal is to help you feel heard and supported, with treatment that’s based on your unique story, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Through meaningful conversation, clear guidance, and responsible medication management when needed, I work to help you find more balance and clarity in your daily life. You're not just another patient, you're a person with a story, and that story deserves real attention.
Conditions I Treat Through Telepsychiatry in Maui
People seek out psychiatric help for different reasons. These are the most common conditions I work with:
Depression
Feelings of sadness, disinterest, or fatigue that don’t go away can signal something deeper. I help patients understand the root of their depression and explore treatment options that include talk therapy and psychiatric medications when needed.
Anxiety
Panic attacks, constant worry, and difficulty sleeping are all signs of anxiety disorders. I work closely with patients to find relief using proven strategies and medications tailored to their needs.
ADD/ADHD
Adults with ADD or ADHD often feel scattered, impulsive, and overwhelmed. If you struggle with focus or memory, I can evaluate your symptoms and help you manage them more effectively.
Bipolar Disorder
Mood instability is hard, not just for the person experiencing it but for those around them. I’ve worked with patients at all stages of bipolar disorder to help stabilize and strengthen emotional balance.
Trauma & PTSD
If you’ve experienced trauma from abuse, violence, or long-term stress, you may carry invisible wounds. As a Maui telepsychiatrist for PTSD, I provide support that helps you unpack your trauma and begin the healing process.
Why Telepsychiatry Works — Especially in Maui
Living in Maui offers peace and beauty, but access to mental healthcare can be limited by geography or stigma. That’s why so many are turning to remote psychiatric care.
You don’t have to drive across the island or wait in crowded rooms. Through secure, confidential video calls, I provide expert psychiatric services wherever you're most comfortable. Whether you're in Lahaina, Kihei, or upcountry Maui, telepsychiatry is available to you.
If you’ve been trying to find a telepsychiatrist in Maui, this may be the right place to start.
