Male Psychiatrists in Piedmont, CA

I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and I approach psychiatric care with a holistic perspective and a focus on your overall well-being. My practice is grounded in psychotropic medication management, bolstered by a commitment to your lifestyle, diet, exercise, and daily habits. I specialize in caring for individuals aged 18 to 65, with a focus on psychotropic medication management. I am most comfortable treating a range of psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, and Panic Disorder.

Experience, insight, integrity, depth, support. I specialize in understanding you and what's happening: your culture, current dilemmas, patterns, strengths, interests, relationships, life history, and visions of yourself and the world. Our work will be tailored to fit your individual needs, through therapy, medications, or both. I have advanced training and interest in depth work, including psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches. The goal is to help you cope with life, grow, enjoy fulfilling relationships, achieve your potential and develop resilience. Board Certified Distinguished Fellow of the APA, active writer, and member of Asian American committee of the Northern California Psychiatric Society.

So, often clients are satisfied with their results. Some describe their experiences: Darcy T "Dr. Kron is an incredible doctor. I already dread the day of his retirement. He is so wonderful, kind, and helpful and has been a ray of clarity in this sometimes hostile world. He has been my Dr for getting close to 20 years and I can honestly say I love him and feel so lucky I found him. Can’t recommend him enough. Brilliant and intelligent doctor, exceptional person on top." 4/22/2024

Trouble sleeping or can't focus? Big meeting the next day and you're not at your 100%? For more than a decade, I’ve helped high achieving individuals overcome insomnia.

I take a collaborative approach toward helping patients achieve their goals, which begins with a full evaluation process that can last from one to a few sessions, until we have reached an understanding of what the difficulties are and we can discuss treatment recommendations. I believe strongly in both understanding and treating symptoms and difficulties in living in the context of a whole person. I have had training in multiple approaches to psychotherapy and work with patients to broaden their emotional and cognitive experience, gain insight into their psychological functioning, and make improvements in their qualities of life.

As a psychiatrist, I specialize in providing care and alleviating the suffering associated with trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain states in young people and adults. I take an integrated approach to your care, combining mindfulness approaches based on meditative practices with more traditional psychotherapy and--where appropriate--careful use of medications and supplements. My commitment is that your therapy make a profound difference in the areas of your life that are most important to you.

My ideal client is someone struggling with treatment-resistant depression or complex mood disorders, feeling overwhelmed and in need of hope. They seek a compassionate, comprehensive approach that blends traditional therapies with innovative treatments like TMS and esketamine. Their goal is to find lasting relief and reclaim their quality of life. They want to be heard, understood, and actively involved in their healing journey, valuing a supportive partnership to discover effective solutions that truly make a difference.

I'm happy to meet you for: (1) traditional dynamic psychotherapy — only flexible, non-stuffy, and straightforward; (2) recognition of mind-body medicine, i.e., how the body affects the mind, and vice versa; (3) prescription writing when needed in addition to psychotherapy, with a light touch and full attention to pros and cons. The ideal patient appears successful on the outside, but suffers longstanding dissatisfaction or self-defeating behavior. Examples include prolonged reactions to trauma or grief, undue guilt or self-blame, or a pattern of interpersonal conflicts.

Greetings. I am a psychiatrist with an outpatient clinical practice in Lafayette, California, named the California Neuromodulation Institute (https://www.canmi.org). I am currently available for new referrals for adults with depressive and anxiety disorders. Please visit my website for more details.
