Great to meet you!

Dr. Flynn is an experienced psychiatrist who has been in clinical practice since 2009.

My approach to therapy

Dr. Flynn also has a strong interest in treating psychiatric diagnoses that commonly accompany eating disorders such as anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, OCD, PTSD, and personality disorders. Depending on the patient’s needs, Dr. Flynn provides medication management and psychotherapy.
