How long have you been at the Ben Gordon Center?
Since September, 2003
What you enjoy most about working at the Ben Gordon Center:
Working with my colleagues who are experts in counseling and everyone else in medical services.
Areas of specialty:
ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders
Therapeutic approaches:
My treatment approach is based on biopsychosocial model of mental illness. Psychotropic medication intervention must be integrated with psychotherapy for the individual as well as the family targeting some of the precipitating and perpetuating factors identified at the time of evaluation.
The goal is beyond disease remission --- Emphasis is on enhancing academic and occupational functioning in society and overall well being of an individual.
