About Eastern Psychiatric
Compassionate, Caring and Experienced
Eastern Psychiatric is committed to delivering compassionate, expert mental health care for adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families. Our practice is led by Dr. Alex Strauss, who is board-certified in both Adult Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, bringing over two decades of dedicated clinical experience. We believe in evaluating not just symptoms, but the whole person—considering medical, psychological, developmental, social, family, and environmental factors in every treatment plan.
We offer a range of evidence-based therapies including CBT, family therapy, supportive therapy, trauma-focused therapies, motivational interviewing, and EMDR, tailored to each individual’s needs. While psychotherapy forms a core part of what we do, we also recognize when medication management is needed—and we integrate pharmacology with therapy in a personalized way. Our team strives to create a safe, welcoming environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to participate actively in their healing.
At Eastern Psychiatric, we understand that mental health challenges often affect the whole family—so we include family members and loved ones when appropriate in the treatment process. We serve clients across the lifespan: from early childhood through adolescence into adulthood. Sports psychiatry and performance support are also areas of special interest and expertise, allowing us to help clients manage not only mental health but also performance, life balance, and recovery from injury or concussion.
We use thorough, careful assessments to ensure that diagnoses are accurate and treatment recommendations are tailored. Our approach is collaborative: we work closely with clients as partners in their care, adjusting treatment as needed and honoring each person’s strengths and goals. Whether in-person or via telehealth, we make it easy to access care. We maintain high standards of training and continue to update our skills and knowledge so that care is current and evidence-based.
Our mission at Eastern Psychiatric is to relieve suffering, improve functioning, and enhance quality of life. Ultimately, our goal is to help you feel more balanced, more resilient, and more connected to what matters most in your life.
