 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after a person has experienced a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. 

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy technique that has been shown to be effective in treating PTSD. During EMDR therapy, patients recall traumatic memories while focusing on external stimuli like hand movements or sounds, which can help process the trauma in a new way.

Fantastic Psychiatrist - I can't say enough wonderful things about David Salvage. It's extremely difficult to find a psychiatrist who actually listens, takes their time with you and works 'with you' to find the right medication for whatever you are struggling with. David is a gem, and I would recommend him to everyone and anyone who is seeking quality care. David, besides everything I just mentioned is kind, extremely knowledgeable, and has such a calm presence. The office was amazing. It's super cozy and unique, and not sterile like so many other offices I've been to. You will not regret scheduling with him. Thank you, David!

Dr. Salvage has literally saved the lives of 2 of my family members. He is so kind and caring and his knowledge of psychopharmacology is amazing. Depression and anxiety are difficult to manage long-term and his therapy and med selection has taken us all from some very dark places into a more balanced life filled with happiness. We still struggle, but with Dr. Salvage’s care, we have hope again.
