Nicholas Athanasiou

Treating the causes of addiction and mood disorders involves understanding both the biologic effects and human experiences of illness. As a psychiatrist boarded in both Addiction and Adult Psychiatry, I have experience with a broad range of mental illnesses and specialize in treating addiction and mood disorders. An important part of my treatment philosophy is to develop a physician-patient relationship which becomes the foundation for successful treatment. As an Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCLA - SFV Psychiatry Training Program and clinical faculty in their Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship I keep myself involved with current evidence and understandings of mental illness.

Jona A Perlmutter
Psychiatrist, MD
Verified
"I work by way of an interpersonal-interactive method, placing emphasis on a person's behavior and experience. I use dialogue, or conversation, rather than a one-sided examination by a therapist of a patient -- in order to develop trust and mutual understanding. As I apply it, conversation can be both unsettling and reassuring, flowing back and forth from one to the other."
