Personalized Psychiatric Care for Marlton Families

Looking for a psychiatrist often comes after months of trying to manage symptoms alone. Many patients are unsure whether they need therapy, medication, or simply an explanation for what they are experiencing.

Eastern Psychiatric provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment for adults, adolescents, and children living in Marlton and surrounding communities. Our approach focuses on understanding the cause of symptoms first and then building a treatment plan that improves daily functioning.

Our office is located a short drive from Marlton in Cherry Hill, and we offer both in-person and telehealth appointments depending on clinical needs.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Common Concerns We Evaluate

Patients from Marlton frequently seek care when emotional or attention symptoms begin interfering with school, work, relationships, or daily routines. We commonly evaluate anxiety, ADHD, depression, panic symptoms, mood instability, emotional regulation difficulties, school refusal, burnout, sleep disruption, and stress-related symptoms. We also help families understand behavioral or academic changes that appear suddenly.

Some individuals benefit from therapy strategies, some from medication, and some from understanding what is happening in order to move forward. The evaluation determines the plan.

CHILD & TEEN PSYCHIATRY

Helping Children Return to Confidence

Children and adolescents often show distress through behavior rather than words. Parents may notice irritability, declining grades, withdrawal from activities, excessive screen time, headaches or stomachaches, sleep changes, or loss of motivation.

We work with both the child and parents to clarify what is driving the change and to develop practical strategies that help the child function at home and at school.

ADULT PSYCHIATRY

When Symptoms Persist Despite Effort

Adults commonly seek care after trying to push through anxiety, exhaustion, lack of motivation, or concentration problems. Life transitions, work stress, and chronic worry can gradually reduce functioning even in highly capable individuals.

Treatment focuses on restoring clarity, energy, and effectiveness in daily life rather than simply suppressing symptoms.

MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Thoughtful and Careful Prescribing

Medication can be very helpful when matched to the correct diagnosis. We emphasize careful evaluation before prescribing, conservative dosing, monitoring response, and periodic reassessment of whether medication is still needed.

Many patients arrive after partial improvement elsewhere, often because the original diagnosis did not fully explain the symptoms.

STUDENTS & ATHLETES

Academic and Performance Pressures

Many Marlton families seek care for students experiencing academic stress, performance anxiety, attention difficulties, or emotional changes after injury. We help students regain confidence, focus, and stability so they can return to school and activities successfully.
