Randie Schacter
Psychiatrist
Promoting wellness by identifying causes and symptoms, then empowering individuals with self-care tools, and a person-centered approach to treatment.
I have been practicing for over 25 years, specializing in helping women and children, along with their families, find paths to wellness. My experience spans various settings, but in my private practice, I can tailor evaluations to each individual's needs and complexity. This approach allows me to build authentic, therapeutic relationships. By combining therapy and medication management, I create comprehensive treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and enrich lives.
