Shepard Greene
I’m a semi-retired board certified psychiatrist who trained at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY. I’ve lived in Northern California for over 30 years. I attempted to retire but missed the work. I’m actually most interested in the newer treatment modalities that show quite a bit of promise. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Psychedelic treatment such as Esketamine or Ketamine and agents that will soon be approved. However, online treatment provided in this context will only utilize conventional treatments.
First session
We’ll try to figure out what’s going on and a way to make you feel better. I’ll ask a lot of questions about your life and how you grew up. No pill can turn back the pages of time to make things right… On the other hand, medication coupled with having a better understanding of what you’ve been through may lead to getting better.
Strengths
Experience … I listen. It’s a collaborative approach where we try to figure it all out.
Ideal clients
I don’t have a description of an “ideal” person to serve. Everyone is different and unique. Everyone has my attention and focus as we’re trying to figure out what happened and the best way to get you back to your old self. Sometimes, folks don’t have an “old self” that they would want to go back to. Maybe they’ve always more or less felt “not right” but can’t quite put their finger on it. These are the types of discussions that are had in trying to figure out who you are as a person.
Treatment methods
Supportive
We talk about stuff that bugs you and what can be done about it.
