Professional statement

I am Dr. Saur. You have reasons to seek out mental health treatment. You may feel nervous about this, having doubts and suspicions concerning treatment. Past experiences may have left you feeling frustrated, but you now have found the courage to try treatment again. I am here to listen to your story and help you.

My 20 years of professional medical experience include outpatient care and inpatient care; including both general hospital and mental health facilities. Having been trained and employed by McLean Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, I learned a great deal about a wide variety of mental health conditions and their treatments.

I have earned two master's degrees and one doctorate (Ph.D.). My first master's degree is in pharmacology which has given me a thorough understanding of medications. My doctorate is in neurobiology/neurophysics. At Harvard Medical School, I conducted research within the fields of neuroscience, neuropharmacology (particularly receptor pharmacology and transporter pharmacology), neurogenetics and neuropsychiatry. From this experience, I have 13 peer-reviewed articles published.

At our psychiatric clinic, we embrace a holistic and evidence-based approach to mental health care, blending traditional and innovative methods tailored to each individual's needs. Our philosophy centers on compassionate, patient-focused treatment, integrating psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle interventions to promote long-term well-being. We prioritize collaborative care, working closely with patients to create personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of mental health challenges rather than just symptoms.

For psychiatric medications, we believe in DO NOT HARM and minimizing and simplifying medications as much as we can.

For psychotherapy, we apply the more modern therapy models, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). However, my main strength is medication managment.
