Hello and welcome! I am an adult, child, and adolescent trained psychiatrist with a focus on psychopharmacology. I specialize in child and adolescent psychiatry, specifically anxiety/mood disorders and ADHD, but I welcome adults to my practice as well! I also have a keen interest in individual adult psychotherapy and family/couples therapy. I have limited availability for therapy in general so please inquire!
Since you do not live in a vacuum, my approach to psychiatric treatment is comprehensive. I take into consideration every aspect of my patients’ lives and don’t reach for medication to address every symptom. If I do not feel that medication will help you, I’ll let you know!
My training as a physician has provided me with a breadth of experience treating patients with many different diagnoses in many different settings. I understand the mental health care system and am confident in my ability to diagnose, treat, and make recommendations that make sense for you.

Run, don't walk to Dr. El Sehamy. He is an incredible clinician and an even better human. Creative, honest and joyful are not adjectives you'd describe a psychiatrist with, but here were are. What are you waiting for?
