Specialties
As Psychiatrists, we specialize in determining the diagnosis for an emotional or mental condition and then developing the best plan for treatment. If the condition can best be treated with talk therapy, generally we will refer you to a psychotherapist for this purpose. If symptoms are more severe or persistent in depression, anxiety, or other problems, you may be a candidate for medication, which can often be very beneficial in such circumstances. In many cases, patients benefit from both medication and psychotherapy. Working with you to find the best medications and best dosages for you (when indicated) are the distinct skill of the the psychiatrist.
