Andrew Shaw Benotakeia, MD

What are some of the specific conditions you treat?

I treat a broad range of psychiatric and behavioral health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, seasonal affective disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personality disorders, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), functional neurological symptoms, and cognitive disorders.

What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?

My priority is to ensure that every patient feels heard, understood, and respected. I believe effective psychiatric care begins with taking the time to understand each patient’s experiences, concerns, and individual needs. My approach combines evidence-based psychopharmacology and psychotherapeutic modalities, tailored to each patient. Psychiatry is a robust field where shared decision-making, individualized care, and collaboration with the patient’s healthcare team are vital components to comprehensive psychiatric care. My goal is to provide comprehensive, individualized care that helps patients better understand their treatment options and actively participate in decisions about their mental health.
