Why Schafer Psychiatric?
Robin Schafer has been a medical practitioner for over 20 years. Her ability to incorporate her knowledge regarding physical health, also makes her more than qualified to treat not only your physical health but also your mental health. She is able to help the whole patient not just their mind or body but both. Robin specializes in collaborating with your therapist and providing medication and medication management for unresolved disorders. She meets with patients and determines the best course of action to help alleviate any symptoms. Robin typically does not medicate on the first visit, instead she take the time to properly diagnose and titrate medication appropriately when warranted.
Due to her focus on pediatric, adolescent & young adult patients for over 15 years, Robin is perfectly suitable to help these age groups. Seeing patients in her home office allows for anonymity as well as local treatment in a warm and welcoming environment.
