Emily Whisler, DO
Psychiatrist
“Mental health concerns are often best treated by addressing not only what is occurring in the mind but also what is occuring in the body and the environment. Following a thorough diagnostic evaluation I prefer to treat all patients with a combination of the appropriate evidence based medication management as well as individualized therapy. I have trained in numerous therapeutic styles and understand that each patient is unique and deserves a unique, tailored treatment plan.”

Over the past decade, she has gained extensive experience in the evaluation and treatment of general psychiatric conditions, with specialized instruction in trauma, addiction, sexual health and development, Autism, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Most recently, Dr. Whisler completed her Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Stanford Hospital, where she developed expertise in family dynamics, therapies, and the treatment of younger children.
Committed to helping her patients on their journey toward wellness, Dr. Whisler is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care through ongoing education and the exploration of new treatments.
