I can help you with: Treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, compulsions, and trauma. Also, insomnia, chronic fatigue, inattention and lack of focus. Memory and other cognitive concerns, even when complicated by agitation. Overuse and dependence on habit-forming prescription and non-prescription substances. Workplace and family issues. Chronic pain. Nonresponse to medication and psychotherapies. I also have decades of experience treating severe mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and psychosis in hospital, outpatient, and residential settings.
I am skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of virtually every type of psychiatric, cognitive, and addiction problem. With my background as a nationally recognized medical scientist, I am up to date on the most effective treatments, and can assist you in deciding which is best for you, as well as avoiding potentially harmful approaches promoted online.
Please contact me for a confidential initial consultation at no charge. This will help us determine how I can best be of service to you. I enjoy workiing collaboratively with my patients so as tailor treatment to your particular situation, and optimize the outcome for you. I do make home visits for patients with mobility or cognitive challenges.
