Psychiatry and Substance Use

General Psychiatry

At Willow I treat depression and mood disorders, anxiety, panic and social anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, perceptual disturbances as in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sleep disorders and hormone related conditions such as perimenopausal depression, anxiety and insomnia, mood changes related to hormone therapy and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. After a free 15 minute consultation, you will be provided with an initial 60 minute psychiatric evaluation to discuss your symptoms and form a treatment plan which may include medications. You will then have follow-up medication management appointments to adjust medications and maintain stability. Treatment is a partnership and we will walk the journey together.

Substance Use Treatment

Expert substance use treatment for individuals who need help for use of opioids, alcohol, stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines, benzodiazepines and nicotine in a discreet, caring, non-judgmental setting. I use a harm reduction approach which respects your autonomy as a person seeking recovery and stands against stigma. Harm reduction allows you to make choices about your treatment whether it’s reducing use, using safer substances in safer ways or total abstinence. You will set your recovery goals and I will provide the tools to achieve them. I am a buprenorphine provider which is a medication used for opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine is an opioid and includes Suboxone, Subutex and the injectables Sublocade and Brixadi. Buprenorphine is an excellent treatment choice for opioid dependence because it treats withdrawal and cravings so you don’t feel the need to use other opioids and is well tolerated. Buprenorphine is a prescription medication that you take at home for your convenience. I provide Vivitrol, a non-opioid treatment for opioid addiction, and alcohol use disorder. I use American Society of Addiction Medicine guidelines for the treatment of stimulant use disorder (cocaine and amphetamines/methamphetamine) and benzodiazepine dependence. The recovery you seek in within reach and I will support you in achieving it.
