In short, because my approach to care involves your input as a vital part of the process, and because I can provide a wide range of psychiatric services at an affordable price.
My Approach:
- I believe that the best approach in mental health is collaborative, especially when working with children. You will always have an active voice in your treatment or the treatment of your child, and I highly encourage involving others in the treatment process, such as teachers or other family members.
- I am trained to work with both the psychological and physiological aspects of mental health. Whether you prefer treatment with psychotherapy, medication, or both, I’m prepared to discuss the advantages of each and to help you or your child in whatever way we determine is best.
- In terms of medication, it is important to know that not all mental health concerns require medication. However, if we determine that medication may be helpful, my goal is to help you or your child achieve full remission of symptoms and an optimal level of functioning with as little medication as possible.
- I take the time to actively listen to your concerns, and I strive to provide individualized care that takes into account your unique circumstances.
