As a dual-board certified physician in both Adult and Child Psychiatry, Christopher David, MD, has experience caring for patients across all ages and all developmental stages of life. He has trained over the last 15 years and worked within premier academic psychiatric health centers including the National Institutes of Mental Health since 2010. He has extensive community experience in both inpatient psychiatric care hospital settings treating patients with severe mental illness, as well as longitudinal outpatient care coordinating the integration of complex family systems and schools into pediatric psychiatric care.
Patient evaluation includes validated and normed psychometrics that recruit family members and teachers to better help assess the severity of psychiatric symptoms. Originally created by Dr. Thomas Achenbach in 1966, the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) program is a revolutionary step forward for psychiatric evaluation. Using machine learning and principal component analysis, ASEBA assessments help highlight and cluster symptoms together when forming a complete and holistic picture of the patient– although it is never used unilaterally, and is always taken in the larger clinical context of ongoing psychiatric interviews and assessments. Using the ASEBA program, we can offer patients and premier, evidence-based, data-driven psychiatric care.
Serving patients ages five and older.
We are not taking outside referrals at this time.
Social workers engage people as partners in the care process. Social workers seek to strengthen relationships among people in a purposeful effort to promote, restore, maintain, and enhance the well-being of individuals, families, social groups, organizations, and communities. Our compassionate approach to counseling, advocacy and resource referral helps patients to improve their health and well-being. Our core values are service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. We connect patients with community services and resources.
