Openings within a week, book instantly on our website. If you've "tried everything" without full remission, consider that I can also provide (beyond typical meds): 1. Advanced Scope Med Management + 2. Root Cause Psychiatry (see below). Advanced Med Management allows for newer (sometimes investigational) approaches (ex: Home Ketamine, Low Dose Naltrexone for Depression). I treat: ADHD, Depression, Anxiety (including social and panic), PTSD, Mood Swings, Impulsivity, Bipolar, and OCD. I’m fortunately empowered to accept insurance but still provide an "exorbitant cash only” level of concierge care, thanks to our caring staff.
Root Cause Psych means looking underneath symptoms at underlying medical causes, based on cutting edge research. I may test and address biomarkers related to hormones, inflammation, vitamins, minerals, gut biome, and genetics. Importantly I also incorporate your deeper psychological themes and life history into our decision making.
Free resources on Root Psych dot com: (ie Root Cause Psych Strategies, Free local resources in 7 regions of Pennsylvania). Our goal is to provide a roadmap in a world where fewer and fewer can afford services.
