Voted Top Doctor of Psychiatry in 435 Magazine, 2019 through 2022 by doctors. Will answer & schedule your appointment within 48 hrs. I listen, am non-judgmental & help you gain self-esteem, exercise better choices & increase your happy hours. I have MD & PhD degrees from Duke University, when MD's were taught to treat with psychotherapy as well as medications when warranted. As Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at KU, School of Medicine I've published widely about depression, bipolar & anxiety disorders, panic, OCD & PTSD. Will conduct sessions with FaceTime or Zoom. Probably out of network, NO insurance accepted.
My specialties are accurate diagnoses of bipolar and depression with healthy stable mood maintenance. Primary goals are increased self-esteem & self-confidence. My Clients benefit from long-term individual and group psychotherapies with medications prescribed as needed. I am especially experienced and skilled in diagnosing and treating bipolar disorders.
No insurance accepted; sorry No Medicare/Medicare. I take payment ($500 first visit, $300 following visits), cash or check at time of service. I use a combination of weekly CBT & insight-oriented therapy; meds only when needed. It is in the clients best interest when psychotherapy and medication are accomplished by one professional. I provide you a receipt.

Groups
Yalom Oriented Group Therapy

My Group work is based on a teaching of Irvin Yalom, MD. It's one of the few, if not the only system to gain self-esteem and self confidence in learning to "speak up" versus "holding in" to improve the quality of human relationships.
