Hello, I am Ioana Shirley, medical doctor board certified in Child and Adult Psychiatry. I have 30 years of daily experience in the outpatient treatment of all psychiatric disorders, using a variety of modalities that include therapy, medications, family interventions, TMS, Esketamine etc. I believe that the success of all psychiatric and psychological interventions depends on the provider's training and skills, but also on the relationship between you and this provider. I offer a one stop safe, private and respectful place for psychoeducation, counseling and complex treatments. Healing is the goal in our partnership.
I was the valedictorian of my medical school class at Carol Davila University of Medicine, Bucharest, Romania. I trained in Adult Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX and C/A Psychiatry at UAB. I also had two years of formal training in dynamic psychotherapy. Since 2000, I have been learning daily, both from books and from my patients.
I am passionate in my profession, and I value the trust that people offer me when they make appointments. It is an honor and a duty to work with you, and I consider that each psychiatric visit should be medical and therapeutic in the same time. I believe in integrated and personalized psychiatry. I invite you to join my practice.
