Services I Offer...
WELCOME and THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST in my practice. I have tried to include a great deal of information here and I hope this will be useful for you to decide if ———what I offer——— meets your needs.
I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, trained in both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. My practice is now completely a telehealth practice. I treat women in the age group of 20-75. Why those ages? At 20, one is no longer as dependent on their families, and after the age of 75, a geriatric psychiatrist is advisable.
The unique demands on women today, to “wear so many hats” at once, is daunting. These challenges are further compliicated by hormonal changes throughout the life cycle. Over my years of practice, and thru my own life experiences, I naturally developed a calling to focus my practice on women’s mental health.
WHAT DO I OFFER? Comprehnsive evaluation, and life-enhancing psychiatric/psychotherapeutic treatment.
My practice is structured to FIRST offer a 3 session evaluation process with feedback. Everything else that occurs is determined by the results of that evalaution.
Typical Conditions I treat are:
depression, anxiety, eating disorders, ocd, phobias, Coping and navigating health issues, grief and loss, stress reated physical conditions such as headaches or IBS, illness/health anxiety, coping with Chronic illness, Pms, PMDD, perimenopause and menopause, coping with pregnancy and post partum issues, aging and any career, relationship and family issues.
CONDITIONS I DO NOT TREAT ARE:
People who need or have had psychiatric hospitalizations. Persons who suffer with substance abuse, psychotic illnesses, schizohrenia or schizoaffective disorder, personality disorders, complex ptsd, court ordered or court involved problems, dissociative disorders, disability evaluations, custody evaluations, or geriatric care ( a specialty in itself). I also cannot help any patients with a history of violence Or anyone involved in a lawsuit related to their current or past mental state, sex offenders or domestic abusers.
It is best to be clear about this at the outset.
