Staff Psychiatrist

The primary role of the Staff Psychiatrist is to provide direct psychiatric assessment/ consultation and psychiatry medication management to patients who have been referred for the treatment of trauma-related disorders and related symptoms (e. g., sleep disturbance). Additionally, patients may need support for pre-existing psychiatric disorders such as recurrent major depression, bipolar disorder or substance use disorder. Approximately 1/3 of TRC-RTC patients accept or request referral to psychiatric care, with needs ranging from support for insomnia to complex pharmacology for those with co-morbid diagnoses. Working with TRC-RTC therapist colleagues, the staff psychiatrist will support screening for SUD and offer MAT for those whose use interferes with recovery from trauma.
