I offer medication management and psychotherapy, both in person and online. I am a solo practitioner. I limit the size of my patient panel to ensure that I am able to spend time with my patients and that it is easy to get an appointment. My approach with medications is minimalistic with a goal of enabling patients to engage with healthy coping tools/therapies.
I do not subscribe to the notion that mental illness is purely a biochemical process. A person’s entire background and current circumstances affect their mental health and how they will react to certain treatments.
