PSYCHIATRY
PHYSICIANS
GROUP

We are a group of board-certified and multi-awarded physicians specialized in Psychiatry. We have extensive training in psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and neuromodulation. Individually, we have subspecialized in different areas of interest to expertly treat a wide variety of psychiatric conditions.

What we do

In our practice, we firmly believe a person’s life story, combined with their biological makeup, form the groundwork for many psychiatric conditions. The only way to practice psychiatry is by being thorough, thoughtful, and truly comprehensive in our approach to your medical and psychological care. Working together with you, we formulate a diagnostic framework and treatment plan that you feel is accurate. We meet you where you are at, and work with you over time towards your true healing and growth.

Who We Are

We are psychiatrists that share a vision of practicing medicine with the same care, expertise, and level of engagement that we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. Click on links below for individual biographies.

Assessment Process

The assessment phase may last between two to four visits. These first sessions are dedicated to understanding you and the problems that bring you to treatment as comprehensively and deeply as possible. Our goal is to develop a relationship in which we are mutually, respectfully, and thoughtfully engaged in understanding the problems at hand. We will then discuss your preliminary diagnosis and we will develop a treatment plan together. From there, decisions about the type, frequency, and duration of treatment follow. We will explore multiple different treatment options with you, which might include a medical workup, medications, psychotherapy,  neuromodulation, nutritional and lifestyle changes and/or a combination of these. Together we will weigh the risks and benefits of each option and select the treatment plan that feels right for you. At this point, once we are in agreement with your treatment plan, we will mutually agree to enter a physician-patient relationship. Should we feel that based on our assessment, your needs may be better met by another facility or program, we will provide you with referrals to appropriate care.
