Current Positions

Private practice — virtual: for people in Massachusetts and Washington state only 

Teaching Associate in Psychiatry: Harvard Medical School/Cambridge (Massachusetts) Health Alliance 

American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology—after 20 years of being “boarded” in psychiatry, I decided not to renew that status* 

State medical licenses: Massachusetts and Washington 

I receive no funding or gift items from pharmaceutical companies. This is out of concern that this practice may well skew toward medications and away from other interventions (psychotherapy, work and social rehabilitation, holistic body-mind practices, etc., depending on circumstances) which are often well-proven but have no equivalent financial incentives driving. And also, medications can clearly be useful sometimes. 

 *Note that evidence seems iffy as to whether going through general standardized hoops for medical specialty board certification has any correspondence with outcomes. See, for example: 

Does specialty board certification influence clinical outcomes? Grosch EN. J Eval Clin Pract. 2006 Oct;12(5):473-81. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2753.2006.00556.x. PMID: 16987109 

Specialty board certification and clinical outcomes: the missing link. Sharp LK, Bashook PG, Lipsky MS, Horowitz SD, Miller SH. Acad Med. 2002 Jun;77(6):534-42. doi: 10.1097/00001888-200206000-00011. PMID: 12063199 Review.
