Finding the right psychiatrist is not just about getting a prescription. It is about understanding what is actually causing symptoms and choosing the right treatment approach.
Eastern Psychiatric provides evaluation and treatment for adults, adolescents, and children living in Voorhees and surrounding communities. Our practice focuses on careful diagnosis, thoughtful medication use, and practical strategies that improve daily functioning.
Located a short drive from Voorhees in Cherry Hill, we offer both in-person and telehealth visits.
Adults and parents often contact us when symptoms begin interfering with school, work, or relationships. We frequently evaluate ADHD, anxiety, panic symptoms, depression, mood instability, school refusal, emotional regulation difficulties, OCD patterns, burnout, stress overload, post-concussion emotional changes, and sleep problems.
Some patients need therapy guidance, some need medication, and some need clarity about what is happening. The evaluation determines the plan.
Children and teens often show emotional distress differently than adults. Instead of saying they feel depressed or anxious, they may avoid school, become irritable, withdraw from activities, develop sleep problems, lose confidence, or have declining grades.
We help families understand what is happening and build a practical treatment plan involving both the child and parents.
Many adults seek care after months or years of trying to push through symptoms. Common concerns include persistent anxiety, mental exhaustion, low motivation, difficulty focusing, life transition stress, and work performance decline.
Treatment focuses on restoring functioning rather than simply reducing symptoms.
Medication can be helpful, but only when matched to the correct diagnosis. We emphasize accurate diagnosis first, conservative prescribing, monitoring effectiveness, adjusting when necessary, and periodic re-evaluation.
Many patients come after partial improvement elsewhere. Often the medication was not wrong, but incomplete for the condition.
Families in Voorhees frequently seek help for student-athletes experiencing performance anxiety, confidence loss, burnout, post-concussion emotional symptoms, and academic pressure. Treatment focuses on helping students return to school, activities, and confidence.
Led by Dr. Alex Strauss, our practice emphasizes understanding the whole person, including biological, psychological, developmental, and environmental factors.
We treat children, adolescents, college students, adults, and families. The goal is functional improvement in daily life rather than quick visits or automatic medication changes.
Eastern Psychiatric is located nearby in Cherry Hill, making appointments easily accessible for Voorhees families. Both in-person and telehealth visits are available depending on clinical needs.
If symptoms are interfering with daily life, an evaluation can provide clarity and direction.
