Photo of Dr. Christina Gerdes, Psychiatrist, MD
I am a Columbia University trained board-certified adult psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist with over 14 years of experience of evidence-based medication management, psychotherapy, and culturally responsive mental-health care. I combine my medical expertise with a warm, collaborative therapeutic approach to help individuals navigate a range of life events including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, bipolar disorder, life transitions, career challenges, OCD, and substance use problems. I provide thoughtful, non-judgmental, evidence-based medication management for adults.
To begin treatment, we start by first completing a comprehensive evaluation to understand your concerns. I take time to understand your personal history, stressors, identity, and goals. Afterwards, we work together to develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.
I believe healing begins when people feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to provide evidence-based, compassionate, comprehensive care that honors each person’s individual experience. I look forward to talking to you and understanding how we could work together.
