I am an experienced board-certified psychiatrist with fellowship in CBT. I did my psychiatry residency at St. Vincents hospital and medical center, NY. I have worked in several hospitals in NY, inpatient and outpatient, as a consultant in gen hospital before starting my private practice in Rockland County, NY for 34 years. Now I am settled in Denver Colorado and restarting a practice here.
I start with an extensive interview to make a correct diagnosis, do baseline labs, make a treatment plan along with the patient. I use medication management and cognitive behavior therapy to reach desired results. I also use meditation, mindfulness, visualization, art therapy, breathing techniques diet and exercise as addendum to treatment.
Patients should be able to take some nuggets of insight at the end of the session, along with some homework and medication adjustment.
