Dr. Seif is a board certified psychiatrist with a subspecialty in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and integrative mental health. As an integrative psychiatrist, she looks with her patients and looks at the roots of their problems. Instead of addressing the illness itself only, Dr. Seif’s approach is proactive. Her goal is to find the deep cause of the current mental state of her patients, to better understand their thought process and to prevent future illness and setbacks. Dr. Seif’s journey, her education, and her passion for helping others have led her to develop a patient-centered outlook in her line of work.
As an integrative psychiatrist, she aims to guide her patients to achieve optima health and lead an active, fulfilling life by looking at the whole of the patient in addition to their mind, body, and environment. She offers her patients the right tools that enable them on their own to reach the ultimate level of health physically, mentally and spirituality.
Dr. Seif attended Virginia Commonwealth University for her residency in Psychiatry and did her fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Maryland. Dr. Seif looks forward to meeting new patients and assisting them in becoming the best version of themselves.
