Understanding what you are experiencing comes first. I take time to explore your history, current symptoms, daily life, and what you hope will change.
When useful, questionnaires and structured assessment tools add to that conversation. I consider them alongside clinical findings, relevant medical evidence, and your preferences as we discuss treatment options.
Thoughtful, Integrative Adult Psychiatry in Los Angeles
Integrative care brings psychotherapy, medical and lifestyle factors, and thoughtful medication use into an individualized treatment plan. We discuss why an option may help, its possible drawbacks, and what remains uncertain.
- • A careful psychiatric evaluation
- • Medication when appropriate, with follow-up for benefits and side effects
- • Psychotherapy integrated into care
- • Attention to sleep, physical health, stress, and daily routines
- • Treatment decisions made together and revisited over time
Treatment is unhurried, collaborative, and individualized.
