In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

My goal is to provide the expert psychiatric care that will allow you to perform at your personal and professional best. I offer an array of psychiatric services including medication management, individual therapy, family therapy, behavior planning for children and adolescents, and advocacy for children in need of specialized academic services. My practice specializes in the medication management of adults and children with mood, anxiety and attentional disorders. I have special expertise in treating individuals who also have medical illnesses or who are pregnant/post-partum and in need of medication support as a component
I love working with kids and adolescents. I also love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My patients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.

Dr.Binder is very direct and seeks to find the treatment that best works for you. I could not recommend her more.

I felt heard, and she was very patient and helped me understand what I need. She was good at explaining how things work and what my next steps are. The appointment was professional, well informed, well-explained and done with much kindness.
