Team Approach
You and I are a team for you.
Not all of my patients desire therapy and not all of them would like to be on medications.
The important part of treatment is being part of it, having a seat at the table, not just on the sidelines. This is the most impactful seat.

As a general psychiatrist, I help you through therapy, prescribing and deprescribing medications. I accompany you as you work with your primary care doctor and other health professionals to improve your physical health because mind-body health is the key to mental health.
Dr. Anna Spector
Hello, I am a general psychiatrist whose strengths are finding your strengths through psychotherapy.
I prescribe and deprescribe medications and work closely with my patients as a team.
I have worked in biodiversity and public health and lived in many different countries in Latin America, Europe and southeast Asia.
I speak Spanish fluently. English is my first language, but feel free to speak to me in Spanish.
You and I are a team for you. Not all of my patients desire therapy and not all of them would like to be on medications. The important part of treatment is being part of it, having a seat at the table, and not just on the sidelines but the most important seat.

How Does Therapy Work?
You might come to your first session never having seen a psychiatrist in your life. Here’s what to expect:
The first session is used to get to know you and listen to why you are coming to me and what your goals are.
For me to help you, I systematically collect some information. Some of this could be accomplished through forms, but I find forms impersonal and the information is, well, personal. So we go through together to get a picture of you through your history from before birth to now including your mental health as well as your physical, emotional, developmental processes and social well-being. We may determine a number of sessions.
From the very first session there is therapeutic value. The number of total sessions may vary and may depend on a good fit between me and you, and may be influenced by limitations of insurance and finances however if we are together for 2, 10 sessions or 20, or if we develop a longer term doctor-patient relationship, the focus is always on the value for you, and your needs.
Depression, Anxiety and Trauma
Are you fighting chronic depression and anxiety, or past trauma informing the present.
Hardships can be found in all facets of our lives from immigration and climate anxiety, to our own personality.
My clients need their problems to be constructed into smaller issues each with a solution that may include becoming better-informed, having a fierce supporter, trusting someone who can confront you gently at the right time during psychotherapy, prescribe the right medication at the right time and deprescribe medications that are not effective.
