will feel totally comfortable. The waiting area
is serene, with comfortable seating, a 150-gallon

Dr. DeSarbo has a very relational style and draws extensively from his significant life experiences as well as his medical understanding of the brain, mind and body. By combining psychodynamic, existential and cognitive-behavioral therapy in his treatment, patients develop an understanding of their thinking and behaviors, what motivates or hinders them in the world and what actions need to be taken to enhance the quality of their lives.

The risks and benefits of the use of medications as well as other non-medical approaches is openly discussed.
