Dr. Chuang

I treat a wide variety of general psychiatric disorders and issues including anxiety and mood disorders. However, I have a specialization in reproductive psychiatry and women’s mental health. I also help patients with career, parenting adjustments, and relationship issues. Because of my subspecialty and additional training in internal medicine, I am also adept at addressing psychological symptoms associated with medical conditions and other health concerns I practice both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology.

Unlike Descartes’ influence on western medicine on the segregation of the mind and body as unrelated entities, I have always believed in a strong relationship in the mind and the body. They are inseparable. As a result of my belief, I pursued a unique training program and am board certified in both adult psychiatry and internal medicine. I approach patients and patients problems from a more holistic view and always maintain an awareness of the possible interactions of stress from the environment and its impact on the body and vice versa.

After a consultation I often advise and inform patients of all therapeutic options which may or may not include medications.  I also work with alternative forms of treatment if the patient prefers it.  However, there are clinical situations and disorders where nothing else is effective except known standard psychiatric medications.

Yes. I have extensive experience in various psychotherapeutic techniques. Many of my patients currently are being treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medications. My other patients are being treated with either psychotherapy or medications alone.
