History

Established in 2001.

We began as a solo mom & pop practice in 2001 with just Dr. Barclay and an office manager. Since that time, we have steadily grown in response to the demand for certain mental health services in this area, in particular services for children and families as well as teens and adults with eating disorders, substance use disorders, and mood/​anxiety problems. We utilize evidence-​based treatments, which means that they have been shown through scientific research to indeed be effective. We offer individual, family, nutritional, and medical/​psychiatric services under one roof. In addition, we offer specialty services, including anger management, substance abuse evaluations, play therapy, EMDR therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and hypnotherapy.

Meet the Business Owner

Gregory B.

Business Owner

I am a board certified psychiatrist with 30 years of experience although not all of that was a psychiatrist. I served as a general medical officer in the US Navy for several years prior to deciding to pursue residency training as a psychiatrist. In the Navy in the 1980’s, psychiatric medication was not utilized with active duty personnel so I was trained to provide short-​term psychotherapy, group therapy, and family therapy instead of in the current approach, which is to treat symptoms with medications. Consequently, while I am very comfortable with and utilize medications in much of my work, I put a higher emphasis on the benefits of and importance of psychotherapy than most psychiatrists do, and many of my patients are on no medications. Outside of my work, I am married and the father of 3 grown children and have many other interests, including music performance and composition, cooking, gardening, and fishing. I am also a master’s swimmer. I look forward to working with you!
