Dr. Lichtman’s Philosophy

My view is that those who are suffering from a psychiatric disorder such as anxiety and depression can benefit directly from my expertise. I strive to treat each person as a unique individual– you are deserving of my utmost respect and my best clinical acumen. The treatment of people in emotional turmoil is something I see as a collaborative effort between myself and the patient. I am wholly committed to helping you find the best, individualized treatment approach based on your unique mental health needs.
