Doctor Sam provides both medication management and therapy. Doctor Sam has devoted years to taking therapy courses that complement the psychiatric services offered in the practice.

Others may need therapy as well. With Doctor Sam, together you will determine the best treatment plan for you or your child.

Sessions vary in length depending on the services provided. Sessions with therapy typically last longer than sessions that are exclusively for medication management, unless more time is needed.
