Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Psychiatrists in Livingston, NJ

Sadness, ADD, addiction, relationships, other anguish? No matter what pain you bear, there is hope, with care, scientific evidence, and if needed legal help. For every problem, there are solutions: I have witnessed personal change, growth at any age. For children: identity and learning; for adults work/other responsibilities, or staying active and fully enjoying the wisdom of a mature life. Together we identify the issue(s), talking support CBT therapy and/or medication including natural complementary, exercises, work coaching. For fees, I work flexibly with those patients who have out of network coverage so they are reimbursed.

There is no such thing as an "ideal client." Each individual is unique, and care will be tailored to fit patient needs.

I will help you develop a treatment plan to help you meet your mental health goals and feel content & yourself again.
