Child, Adolescent, &
Adult Psychiatry
Medication Management
I prescribe a full range of psychiatric medications and nutritional supports. I provide patients with full knowledge of potential benefits, risks, side effects, and medication interactions, so that informed consent is truly possible. I routinely recommend broad-spectrum micronutrient supplementation, omega-3 fatty acids, and other aids to attaining vibrant physical and mental health.
Behavioral therapy, which addresses self-destructive habits and routines and focuses on instilling healthy habits, including ways of making and keeping relationships.
Lifestyle coaching, which enables patients to make powerful changes in the six domains of lifestyle medicine: nutrition/diet, exercise/movement, sleep, stress reduction, emotional connectedness, and the avoidance of harmful substances.
Therapy
I specialize in four types of therapy:
Supportive therapy, which involves listening without negative judgments, encouraging verbalization of deep/true feelings, normalizing feelings when normal (as they often are), comforting/reassuring/providing emotional support, and advising when asked for advice.
Cognitive therapy, which addresses negative self-talk, negative core beliefs, and other anchors, and which points out and reframes negative perspectives on the self, the body, love, work, and life itself.
Institutional Consulting
I consult for large institutions, offering an online employee program in Lifestyle Psychiatry designed to optimizing employees’ physical health, mental health, and performance. On a limited basis, I also visit corporate sites to offer tailored recommendations and sessions.
