Psychiatric medicine in its developmental and social context
Dr. Montenegro is an adult, child, and adolescent psychiatrist whose clinical work integrates psychiatric medicine with a broader understanding of development, culture, identity, family systems, and the social context of health. His areas of focus include ADHD, anxiety and OCD, neurodiversity, complex psychiatric presentations, and mental health care for physicians and other high-stakes professionals. He also brings an academic and research perspective to clinical care. Spanish-language psychiatric services may be available depending on clinical fit and scheduling.
My approach
My practice provides individualized psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults. My in-depth evaluations are informed by the person's unique biological, psychological, and social background and lived experiences. I provide psychotherapy and medication management. I have a particular interest and expertise in cross-cultural psychiatry, caring for people of diverse backgrounds, and providing mental health services to physicians and other individuals with public and/or high-stakes careers.
