Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Chronic pain and: unexplained weight loss require a trip to the doctor for a proper diagnosis. The root of this may be metabolic, psychological, or both. Once medical conditions have been ruled out or identified, a mental health professional can be helpful. Peace and good health.
