Area of Services
Dr. Westreich provides the below services. Often he combines the different modalities (except for forensic work) to help the patient move forward in those aspects of his or her life which are troubled or problematic.
Psychiatric Assessment
A comprehensive assessment of the patient's biological, psychological, and social history, leading to a diagnosis and treatment plan. This may include laboratory tests, psychological testing, or consultation with other specialists. The goal is to understand the root causes of distress and create a sustainable path toward mental wellness.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one therapy can help the patient manage conditions like addiction, depression or anxiety, and can also help with personal growth and self-discovery. Dr. Westreich uses various therapeutic modalities tailored to each patient's unique needs, focusing on building a strong therapeutic alliance and achieving measurable improvements in quality of life.
Couples & Family
For the stressed couple or family, a therapy experience can lead to positive alterations in communication, empathy, and mutual support. These sessions aim to resolve conflicts, strengthen the bonds between family members, and provide tools for navigating complex relationship dynamics in a healthy way.
Medication Treatment
Careful monitoring and evidence-based pharmacotherapy for psychiatric and substance use disorders. Dr. Westreich ensures that medications are used judiciously, integrated into a broader therapeutic plan, and adjusted based on the patient's specific response and needs. Safety and efficacy are prioritized in every prescription.
Forensic Services
Expert witness testimony and evaluations for civil, criminal, and administrative legal proceedings. Dr. Westreich provides objective, thorough assessments based on his extensive clinical expertise, helping the legal system understand the intersection of psychiatry and law with clarity and professional integrity.
