About Howard K. Gershenfeld, MD

Generally, treatment includes telling your story, a diagnostic assessment, education about your issue(s) with a discussion of treatment options, and then some combination of psychotherapy and/or medications tailored to your preferences. I specialize in anxiety disorders, providing both therapy and medication. However, I see clients with a wide array of distressing issues and problems in living. While I have preferences for person-centered therapies that “work” (evidence- & measurement-based therapies) and “being accountable” [via “a measure what you treasure” approach].

In general, if therapy and/or medication works for you, it will be one of the best investments you will ever make.
