Dr. Hersevoort provides evaluations, medications, and psychotherapy to individuals. The treatment approach is primarily psychodynamic, using a biopsychosocial model to evaluate and understand patient difficulties.
Depending on the circumstances each patient will benefit from a different treatment plan based on their individual needs. Difficulties can range from primarily biological to fundamentally psychological with very different treatments shown to be effective.
