As a board certified provider in both Psychiatry and Internal Medicine, Dr. Gordon Kusi specialize in working with individuals who may be experiencing ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, substance use, depression or trauma—particularly when these struggles stem from difficult relationships or family dynamics. In our initial sessions, we will take the time to explore the challenges you're facing in depth and work together to create a personalized plan for healing and growth. Many of my clients begin to notice a gradual relief from symptoms within the first month, with continued improvement over time. My goal is to support you in regaining a sense of balance, clarity, and control so you can move forward with greater confidence and peace
