We are a holistically oriented psychiatric practice in an informal, home-like atmosphere.  Dr. Remington specializes in conventional psychotherapy that prescribes medication and utilizes psychotherapeutic techniques that meets each patient's needs.

Our practice also utilizes biofeedback for stress management. We treat a variety of stress disorders with the use of biofeedback and autogenic techniques. Visualization, hypnosis, and headache therapy is a specialty.

Each patient works closely with Dr. Remington and the nurse practitioner to develop an individualized treatment plan that incorporates biofeedback and hypnosis, and eliminates or reduces their headaches.

Our practice has found 80% of all our patients eliminate their severe headaches, 10% reduce their headaches significantly and 10% remain unaffected. Our therapy has been proven to be 80% to 90% effective.
