About Jason
License #: 59008I dove into an alternative medicine intensive while at the University of Michigan Medical School and have been deepening that exploration ever since. I learned mindfulness-based psychotherapy as a psychiatry resident at UCSF. While a public psychiatry fellow at Columbia and later an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU, I did home visits to people who needed more than standard care. I have completed the Integrative Psychiatry Institute fellowship accredited by the University of Colorado. When I was the psychiatry residency director at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, I taught psychotherapy, addictions treatment, medication management, evidence-based medicine, and cultural psychiatry. I am excited about drawing from my breadth and depth of experience to provide you effective treatment that honors your values.
My Therapeutic Approach
Are you looking for more than medications for your life journey? I can bridge the traditions of the East, West, and beyond to curate a mental health wellness plan for you. My special training includes meditation, mindfulness, nutrition, supplements, a broad repertoire of psychotherapy techniques, and more. These approaches build on the foundation of my medication expertise, with the goal of using the minimum necessary. My love of food and travel is part of a wider exploration of cultural and other differences between people, which I can weave into my work if you desire. Now that our paths have crossed, I look forward to discussing how I can guide you further on your journey.
Who I Help Best
I have worked in many settings and can treat many different conditions. Over the years, I saw how trauma often underlies many issues that people face. It is very rewarding for me to tease out and address those connections through a holistic approach. I am one of a limited number of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) practitioners locally. ART is based on EMDR and both fast and effective with many issues, including trauma. I have also taught people how to use mindfulness with many different kinds of symptoms, including even hallucinations. I can also offer my experience working in an OCD specialty clinic and prescribing medications for pregnant patients.
What a First Session Is Like
We'll first get to know each other a bit over the phone, and I can answer any questions you have. I've mostly met with people at the Green Hills location but have also done Midtown. I'll send you an online questionnaire beforehand that makes the first appointment go faster. You're free to defer any difficult topics to later. By the end of the first session, I'll discuss my preliminary thoughts, and together we'll decide on some concrete action steps toward your wellness.
