Treatment Approach

Evidence Based

As an experienced Psychiatric Provider, Dr. Cramer highly values empiric evidence and tries to provide evidence-based care when appropriate evidence is available. He takes his oath to “first, do no harm” seriously, which means that he makes an ongoing effort to balance the potential risks and benefits of an intervention, and to share his understanding clearly with his patients.

Caring

Dr. Cramer enjoys working with children and adolescents, and his calm, friendly demeanor helps put patients (and their families) at ease. He enthusiastically celebrates his patients’ successes along with them and remains an optimistic advocate during setbacks. Dr. Cramer puts particular emphasis on listening intently to his patients and solving problems together.

Multi-Dimensional

Dr. Cramer does prescribe medication but believes that medication is just one component of a thorough treatment plan to facilitate improved mental health. He is happy to work with your current psychotherapist or to make a community referral for therapy. For a small subset of patients, he may provide therapy and medication management or therapy alone. Dr. Cramer may also recommend lifestyle changes relating to sleep, diet, exercise, and other habits to support overall wellness.
