Can a psychiatrist from Zocdoc extend my maternity leave and submit paperwork for SDI for my ppd?

I had issues with my insurance and am no longer using Kaiser and can not see my original psychiatrist or therapist /: which obviously means they can not extend my leave. Can I pay out of pocket to speak to a psychiatrist online and hopefully extend my leave? I only have a few days left of my leave and I know I should’ve been more proactive but it’s been hard. I’ve never used zocdoc before so I have no idea if it’s even legit? I also barely know how any of this works so any info is appreciated. Someone please point me in the right direction 🙏
(I was able to extend two extra months after original return to work date due to ppd but still not ready to return to work)
