Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Therapy....: if you've seen numerous doctors and still don't think you have answers, maybe different questions can be asked...questions more pertinent to what you are experiencing. Getting with a good therapist can help you figure out the more relevant underlying questions and causes of your symptoms and what to do about them.
