Have you been dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder for months or years? Have you been on this medication then that medication and these seem to work for a while only for the symptoms to come back? Are you looking for a comprehensive functional approach that addresses these problems at a functional level? Do you want to live life on your terms? What are the five things you should be doing today to optimize your mental health? Have you heard of the Walsh protocol and you want a provider who can help you with this? The solution is closer than you think.
As a child & Adolescent & Adult psychiatrist for years, I've worked with 1000's of patients and rather than focus on symptoms with medication, address the person as whole though a program based approach to care, addressing underlying factors that perpetuate disease. I'm Not offering preceptorships/collaborative agreements
My goal is to help each practice member reach & learn what it takes for them individually to maintain their optimal health. Investing in your health is the most important investment you'll make. You can get a new house or a new car but once your body breaks down, you can't get a new body. Where will you be three years from now if you continue as you are now?
