Best Telepsychiatrist in Oahu, Hawaii
Have you ever felt like something inside just isn’t right, but you can’t explain it? Maybe it’s stress, mood swings, or a heaviness that won’t go away. If you're living in Oahu and looking for meaningful support, professional help is closer than you think.
I'm Dr. Scott Gladstone, a board-certified psychiatrist offering one-on-one psychiatric care through secure video calls. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, or past trauma, I offer a safe and private space where you can be seen, heard, and supported, right from your home in Oahu.
One-on-One Telepsychiatry That Meets You Where You Are
Living on an island shouldn't make mental health care harder to access. That’s exactly why I provide psychiatry services online, so you can get the support you need without traveling long distances or sitting in a waiting room. As an experienced telepsychiatrist in Oahu, Hawaii, I work with adults between the ages of 18 and 64. My sessions are personalized, confidential, and focused entirely on what you're going through. All you need is a phone, tablet, or laptop and a quiet place to talk. You’ll receive expert evaluation, compassionate care, and, when appropriate, thoughtful medication management, all without ever leaving the island or your home.
What I Can Help You With
What if the way you’ve been feeling isn’t just a phase, but a sign that something deeper needs attention? Many people hesitate to reach out for mental health support, unsure whether their struggles are “serious enough.” But if your emotional well-being is affecting how you think, work, relate to others, or simply get through the day, it’s worth taking seriously, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges that may feel overwhelming, isolating, or hard to explain. Whether your symptoms are long-standing or new, subtle or intense, I listen without judgment and work with you to find a plan that fits your needs.
Here are some of the conditions I commonly treat:
- Depression – When joy feels out of reach and daily life feels heavy or numb
- Anxiety – When worry, panic, or racing thoughts make it hard to feel calm
- ADD/ADHD – When staying focused or emotionally balanced feels like a constant battle
- Bipolar Disorder – When life swings between overwhelming highs and exhausting lows
- Emotional Trauma – When past experiences still impact your sense of safety, trust, or peace
These experiences can’t always be seen by others, but they deserve real support. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and develop tools to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and in control. Healing isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about honoring your story and building a better way forward.

Know about my journey
I completed my medical degree at Howard University College of Medicine and trained in psychiatry at Los Angeles County–USC Medical Center, one of the nation’s most demanding and diverse psychiatric institutions. With over three decades of experience in hospitals, jails, and private practice, I’ve treated a wide range of patients, from professionals to underserved communities. I’ve also spoken publicly about mental health on television, radio, and at events to help make psychiatry more understandable and relatable. Living in Hawaii for over 30 years has shaped my approach to care. I understand the emotional challenges that are unique to our island communities, where family, culture, and well-being are deeply intertwined. I believe that mental health treatment should be accessible, respectful, and rooted in real human connection. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or simply need someone to talk to, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your needs and guide you toward peace of mind. Through Hawaii-based telepsychiatry, I continue to help adults across the islands access compassionate, personalized psychiatric care without the stress of travel or long wait times. Your mental health matters here, and I’m here to walk with you through every step of the process.
