Great to meet you!

Dr. Niemeier is a Board Certified Psychiatrist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. She uses an evidence-based, holistic approach, with the goal of using the lowest effective doses of sustainable medications when needed.

My approach to therapy

This clinic does not utilize benzodiazepines or stimulant medications. However, if you require assistance in stopping any of these medications, and it is safe to do so outside of an inpatient hospital setting, this will certainly be considered on a case by case basis.

What you can expect from me

Dr. Niemeier believes that effective mental health treatment involves the treatment of the whole person, and includes physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
