“Unlike most physical ailments, mental and behavioral conditions often have no clear-cut solution and require highly personalized treatment that is based on each individual’s specific needs and background, “ says Dr. Abrams, “I wanted to provide a practice that was collaborative and accessible, offering dedicated and progressive treatment options”.

Medications have become more and more sophisticated to target specific elements of the brain’s chemistry in order to treat different types of mental and behavioral disorders with a minimum of side effects”.
