I work with people navigating mood disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder, as well as those struggling with substance use, eating disorders, or personality disorders. Many of my patients begin therapy looking to understand their behaviors and build awareness around what drives them, especially when it comes to substance use and eating patterns. Through our work, we’ll explore those patterns with curiosity and care, and then move toward lasting change.

FAQ - Alcohol Use Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with alcohol use disorder?
For many individuals, alcohol consumption is a normal part of social events or celebrations. However, alcohol use that becomes more frequent, risky, or disruptive to daily functioning may meet the clinical criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD). At this point, a psychiatric support can be an important step in addressing the issue. Psychiatrists who specialize in alcohol use disorder help individuals understand the psychological and physiological effects of drinking and offer support through therapy and, when appropriate, medications approved for alcohol-related treatment which can reduce cravings and support individuals in reducing or stopping alcohol use.

What does the assessment and treatment planning process involve?
Seeing a psychiatrist for alcohol-related concerns typically begins with an assessment of the person's drinking habits, as well as a screening for any co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or trauma-related disorders. This evaluation informs the treatment plan and helps determine whether outpatient care is appropriate or if a higher level of intervention is needed first—such as medically supervised detoxification or an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Once the appropriate level of care is established, the psychiatrist works with the client to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs and recovery goals. Psychiatric treatment for alcohol use disorders often incorporates evidence-based therapies, including motivational interviewing, harm reduction strategies, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and relapse prevention planning. Depending on the client's goals, treatment may focus on either moderation or complete abstinence. In some cases, psychiatrists may also coordinate with other members of the client's care team, such as primary care providers or addiction specialists, to ensure an integrated approach.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in alcohol use disorder?
The Psychology Today online directory is a valuable resource for finding psychiatrists (MDs) or psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in alcohol use. Users can filter providers based on specialty, insurance accepted, fees, location, and personal identity preferences—such as gender, cultural background, or religious affiliation. Because not all providers treat alcohol-related conditions, it is important to verify a psychiatrist's experience with alcohol use disorder. When contacting a provider, consider asking about their specific experience treating alcohol-related issues, as well as their approach to both medication management and behavioral therapy. This is especially important for individuals seeking a particular type of treatment approach, such as harm reduction or abstinence-based care.
