> Jon - Michael Liebowitz? Private practice or a Columbia Presbyterian?
Yes. He sees me at his private practice on E 90th Street in Manhattan.
> I am currently looking for another doctor whom is experienced in treating TRD (treatment-resistant depression). I live close enough to NYC to make it worth the trip. Can you suggest any names?
If you can afford it, and sometimes it's worth it even if you can't, I highly recommend Dr. Liebowitz. He has saved my life. I've seen many pdocs over the last 10 years or so and have suffered my entire life, and I finally have a life and a future. He has a CBT therapist on his staff, Carla Daichman, who I also see. The two of them work together as a team to provide me with the best care. Meds help the therapy, and Carla's feedback to Dr. Liebowitz influences his decisions about meds. They've worked together for many years, and seem to have the art of effective treatment down to a science. Anyway, I highly recommend both of them. Obviously you don't *have* to see both of them, but it's been very helpful in my case. If you want contact information, etc., you can email me at jonw1978usa@yahoo.com. Good Luck!
