Every person has a fascinating story to tell.

I love to listen.

In the mental health profession, listening to a person’s story is essential in determining a proper diagnosis. Unfortunately for many, our broken system of mental health care has largely stopped listening.

Consequently, patients are consistently being misdiagnosed, and as a result, given ineffective treatments. As a forensic psychiatrist, I’m determined to change this.

Hello, I’m Dr. Tim and this is my holistic approach to arriving at the correct diagnosis.

As an adult, child, and adolescent psychiatrist I evaluate and treat patients of all ages with serious (and sometimes not so serious) mental health problems on a daily basis. Many of these patients have previously suffered serious consequences following a misdiagnosis.

I am a true diagnostician, and my rigorous, wholistic approach to arriving at the correct diagnosis is the foundation of the 360 approach.

Thoroughly review previous medical and psychiatric records

Perform a thorough interview with the patient and family members

Gather collateral information from other sources such as teachers, friends or acquaintances
