Rhea Johnson, MD PC

 

Do you feel intense fear or sadness which has your life or psychotherapy at an impasse? Dr. Johnson offers a thoughtful, comprehensive assessment to discuss and weigh out the role that medications could play to support your process of change.

 

Her practice specializes in the medication management of adults (in particular women) with mood, anxiety and attentional disorders. She has special expertise in treating individuals who also have medical illnesses or who are pregnant/post-partum and in need of medication support as a component of their care.

 

Dr. Johnson's style is professional, empathic and approachable. Psychoeducation is at the core of her practice; you should understand and actively participate in your treatment. She collaborates regularly with your therapist, and/or internist to discuss and plan your best, most effective treatment course. Each plan is highly individualized.

 

Not everyone needs medications. Dr. Johnson makes every attempt to streamline or reduce medications when possible, but help develop effective, safe regimens in cases when medications are truly necessary. She makes appropriate referrals to wonderful and experienced therapists she trusts.

It is her goal to optimize your overall health.
