Grief counselors and therapists in Decatur, GA

Hello and welcome to comprehensive psychiatric services at DMD Health and Wellness!

As a General (Adult) and Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, I am passionate about empowering all ages on their journey towards mental health and well-being.

I completed a residency in General Psychiatry and fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Georgia's prestigious medical college, one of the oldest medical schools in the nation. This expert, specialized training has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to understand the unique psychological needs of children, adolescents, and adults.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, Board Certified Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, and am also a Board Certified Pediatrician (triple-trained in General Pediatrics, General Psychiatry, and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry). I completed a pediatrics residency at NYC’s only academic Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate, with additional pediatric and psychiatric internships at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center.

I graduated with my medical degree (Doctorate) with clinical accolades from New York’s oldest osteopathic medical school, NYIT.

My educational background is in both Clinical and Community Psychology. I conceptualize and intervene with clients with an understanding of individual and environmental contributing factors. Additionally, I have significant experiences working with people across the life span and in various settings. I bring this rich experience to my work with clients.

I have over 17 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families in crisis. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and hold additional certifications as a Master Addictions Counselor and a Certified Professional Counseling Supervisor. I have many specialties, including trauma-informed therapy."

For over 10 years, I have worked alongside individuals navigating some of life's most difficult challenges, including trauma, addiction, incarceration, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and major life transitions. These experiences have taught me that healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

I believe that our past experiences often shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Together, we can explore the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, process difficult experiences, and build a stronger foundation for the future. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct, providing both support and gentle challenge as you work toward your goals.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for a new chapter, I am committed to meeting you where you are and helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

I'm glad you're here. My name is Saúl.

I’m a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, patient-centered psychiatric care. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported without judgment.

With a background in both psychiatric and family medicine, I take a whole-person approach—considering both your mental and physical health when developing your treatment plan. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again.
