Karen V.

Business Owner

I have been a psychiatrist for over 25 years. During those years, I have treated individuals ranging from adolescents to mature adults. I have worked with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The human mind is fascinating and it is a privilege to be able to attempt to reduce human pain and improve other’s quality of life. Treatment is a collaborative process in the service of improving your mental health and well-​being. My goal is to try to help you achieve your goals.

I have broad based experience which allows me to treat a wide variety of individual with different ages, backgrounds, issues, diagnoses and needs. For example: I have delivered mental health care in outpatient, inpatient; sub-​acute, extended care, and long term care facilities, assisted living, residential facilities, and mental health clinics. I have delivered mental health care in the private, university, VA, HMO and public health system.
