Individual Therapy Couples or Family Therapy Group Therapy Dementia Primary Substance Abuse Primary Eating Disorders I am not a specialist in Substance Abuse or Eating Disorders - both of which require very specific expertise and treatment parameters. However, I do treat people with Substance Abuse or Eating Disorders when these problems arise in the context of another psychiatric disorder.
