Pernilla Schweitzer, MD
I am an adult psychiatrist who specializes in treating mood disorders, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, attention deficit disorders, and substance abuse. I use an integrative approach that emphasizes a combination of psychotherapy and medication as needed for each individual. I am also experienced with medications for treatment of substance abuse such as Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) and Revia (naltrexone). I completed my undergraduate degree at Harvard University, medical school at Columbia University, and psychiatric residency at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). I completed a fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry at UCSF.
