Treatments Provided
Psychopharmacology Treatment
Psychopharmacology is a relatively new specialty that has evolved over the past 3+ decades as psychiatric research and medication have proliferated and treatment has become more sophisticated and complex. Few psychiatrists are formally trained as psychopharmacologists, although many claim to have such credentials. Dr. Brown is one of only a small number of board certified psychiatrists in the tri-state area who has both earned an M.D. and a Ph.D. and has completed a fellowship in this area. In addition, she spent more than a decade as an academic psychopharmacologist, administrator, and a research and teaching leader. She is also one of the few trained psychopharmacologists who embraces both TMS and medication treatment.
