MD, 18 years of experience
I'm a board-certified adult psychiatrist specializing in addiction and substance use disorders, practicing at a Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospital in Boston. My work focuses on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of adults (18+) with co-occurring psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, alongside substance use disorders (including alcoholism, opioid, and cocaine). I'm currently accepting new patients from New York, Maine, North Carolina, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Florida (with Texas coming soon!). All sessions are conducted via secure online telemedicine, and I also speak Turkish.
You'll find our sessions to be a friendly, non-judgmental environment designed to build trust and allow us to fully understand your unique situation. This thorough understanding guides our discussions about potential medication or therapy options. We genuinely value your input, and your active participation is crucial for achieving the best treatment outcomes.
My greatest strength is my holistic, patient-centered approach to co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders. With two decades in a university-affiliated setting, I offer cutting-edge care informed by extensive experience, collaboration with top colleagues, and continuous engagement with the latest research. My work supervising fellows and residents further refines my application of best practices, ensuring a truly comprehensive and effective therapeutic journey.
My ideal clients are adults (18+) who are navigating the complex challenges of co-occurring psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, alongside substance use disorders such as alcoholism, opioid, or cocaine addiction. I'm best positioned to serve individuals who are seeking a thorough and expert evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan. This also extends to licensed professionals requiring evaluations for recovery and monitoring programs. If you're ready to engage in a non-judgmental, collaborative process to achieve lasting recovery, you are an ideal fit for my practice.
A collaborative, client-centered counseling approach designed to help individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about their psychiatric conditions, substance use, strengthening their intrinsic motivation to change and achieve their recovery goals.
