Steve Balt, MD, MS

Specialties

Psychiatry, including psychopharmacology and psychotherapy, for both adults and adolescents. I treat addictive disorders as well as mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and ADD/​ADHD in adolescents and adults.

I take a conservative and rational approach to medication management and I am willing to work with patients and their other providers (therapists, primary care physicians, other psychiatrists) to simplify or reduce complicated medication regimens.
