I currently and until further notice provide only online treatment offered via doxy.me due to the covid-19 pandemic.
About
Thank you for considering receiving online mental health care at my practice. I now accept children/adolescents for psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy. My encounter with a potential patient starts with a detailed phone interview with the adult patient or the parents of a minor prior to the first visit. If we agree to meet online, the following online sessions, consultation period, will be spent on a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's history. Parents of a minor are significantly involved in the evaluation process. At the end, if we feel we are the right match to work with each other, we officially start the treatment.
I was trained in addiction, child/adolescent psychiatry, integrative medicine, and psychoanalysis of all ages. So, I believe in the approach to the mind and body simultaneously. While I prescribe medications for some patients, I enjoy working with patients who wish to be in insight-oriented psychotherapy in order to gain insight into their suffering.
My practice of psychotherapy is psychodynamically and psychoanalytically informed. Except for rare cases, I don't believe patients need to be on medications for ever. I believe good mental health care comprises of controlling symptoms with medications, if needed, to create room to explore the root causes with psychotherapy.
