When an individual comes in to see Dr. Steinberg, she takes care to listen to their story and perform a thorough evaluation. She works collaboratively to understand her client's challenges and goals, and to tailor an individualized treatment plan that aligns with their priorities and values. Treatment may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a thoughtful combination of the two in a personalized plan of care.

If medication would be helpful, Dr. Steinberg prescribes according to the most current, evidence-based practice.  In terms of psychotherapy, she has specialized training and expertise in a variety of modalities, which she often integrates during the process of treatment. These techniques may include psychodynamic talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation and mindfulness techniques, internal family systems psychotherapy, EMDR, lifestyle changes, practical strategies, and supportive psychotherapy.
