I invite you to learn further about my practice ...
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions or stressors, unexplained mind body symptoms, health behavior problems (including addictions) or these issues, I would like to help. I am a psychotherapist, double-board certified psychiatrist, and an integrative medicine fellowship trained physician, whose approach is based on empathy and respect for each person's unique path. I believe the best treatment is a collaborative one, grounded in the whole of who you are.
Because our mind, body, spirit and cultural positions are integrated, my treatment philosophy differs from one that solely focuses on psychopharmacology. While sometimes limited use of medications may be helpful, brain health can often be improved by other means, such as, psychotherapy, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes to improve nutrition, exercise and mindfulness practice. Perhaps I can be of help to you? Patient testimonial: "Dr. Abramowitz is remarkably knowledgeable, insightful, warm and engaging. A consummate professional, she has helped this patient to such an extent that I will be forever grateful."
