Sergio Badel, M.D., DFAPA

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. I specialize in medical treatment and psychotherapy for depression, anxiety, anger issues, self-esteem issues, challenges with emotional intimacy, difficulty coping with stress, and obsessions. These symptoms often present when individuals describe feeling “stuck” in their lives. They may have difficulty avoiding repetitive, unhealthy patterns that cause emotional turmoil and distress. I have found it most therapeutic and cost-effective to provide psychotherapy combined with medical evaluation and management when appropriate. I offer individualized treatment for adult patients and specialize in helping individuals with depression, anxiety disorders, and traumatic experiences. I also have experience treating medical conditions that cause psychiatric symptoms and mood disorders, including unipolar depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia. My work with individuals is comprehensive and individualized. I integrate social, psychological, and cultural issues alongside family, genetic, and other biological factors. Focusing on the person rather than the diagnosis is essential for deeper understanding and contributes to long-lasting healing. I also incorporate holistic and integrative approaches, personalized medicine, and nutraceuticals when appropriate.
