"I look forward to working with those who are not afraid to look at themselves ..."
~ Dr. Keith Barton
Mental Health Is Part Of Overall Physical Health
I believe that psychology cannot be parceled out of healthcare and that mental health is an important part of overall physical health. Many of my adult patients come to me with adjunctive physical ailments such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, seizures, eating disorders, GI and cardiac problems.
My Approach to Psychology
I use both cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal approaches in therapy. In my practice, I see a wide variety of patients, including couples in need of therapy, adults with mood and anxiety disorders and adolescents with school and identity problems.
I'm a firm believer in using a relaxed, conversational approach to therapy and I avoid medical
and psychological jargon. For new patients, I take an extensive medical history in addition to
the normal psychological history. It is important to me to have a close working relationships
with my patients' physicians, if medication is needed.
I look forward to working with those who are not afraid to look at themselves. I consider it an honor to be a part of my patient's personal development and behavioral changes that impact the mind, body, and spirit.
