Dr. Michael Shiekh, MD, Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association
Dr. Michael Shiekh prioritizes spending the necessary time to understand each patient holistically. While a psychiatric diagnosis is a starting point, Dr. Shiekh recognizes it as just the beginning. He understands that human beings are complex, requiring individualized diagnosis and treatment plans tailored to unique circumstances. His comprehensive psychiatric approach delves into multiple levels: molecular neurobiology, developmental histories, relationships, and social environments. Dr. Shiekh integrates various fields and interventions into his practice, drawing from his extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, couples and family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication management. This holistic approach ensures that each patient receives personalized, effective care.
Dr. Shiekh is dedicated to utilizing revolutionary treatments like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to combat depression and other mental health conditions. TMS therapy offers a non-invasive, effective option for patients who have not found relief through traditional methods. By integrating cutting-edge treatments with a compassionate, personalized approach, Dr. Shiekh helps patients achieve brighter tomorrows.
