Heather Marie Hall
Psychiatrist, MD
Verified
Verified
Depression and anxiety are often only partially responsive to medication. A combination treatment, that includes medication and psychotherapy, is most effective. Many psychiatrists do not provide psychotherapy. Patients are forced to find two care providers. In these cases neither provider is able to fully understand the patient’s needs. By providing both, Dr. Hall can develop holistic treatment plan that is informed by an understanding of both the biological and psychological aspect is emotional illness.
