The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.
I am a psychiatrist and have been providing mental health services for 30 years in outpatient settings. I see Individuals and address generalized anxiety disorder, mood disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) counseling, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as many other conditions.
