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.”
