Psychiatric Services offered by Dr. Zvi Frankfurt
Through one-on-one sessions, Dr. Frankfurt can walk a person through his or her personal history, to see where mental health issues could have originated. This is usually done in conjunction with a medical/diagnostic assessment, to see exactly what is needed for the person’s mental health issues. Dr. Frankfurt strives to combine psychoanalytic therapy with psychopharmacological treatment. The goal is to find the lowest possible medication levels needed for the person’s mental health concerns, and to work gradually to the removal of such medicines, if possible.
Psychiatric sessions and counseling can benefit people with serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, serious substance addictions, and manic depressions. The sessions also aim to reduce emotional triggers, and to encourage a healthier mental and physical lifestyle that can minimize the effects of a person’s mental health issues.
It should be noted that it is important to trust your psychiatrist, so it’s a good idea, as mentioned before, to interview as many mental health professionals as you can, to see which one of them you best connect with. Dr. Frankfurt is also open to working with family members if the patient believes this would benefit them. Confidentiality is maintained under all circumstances.
