Jeffrey Naarden, NP — Psychiatrist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Jeffrey!

I specialize in treating mental health impairments across the lifespan. I have worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient, outpatient, substance use, and crisis care.

My focus

Although I am experienced in providing care for all psychiatric impairments across the lifespan, I have advanced experience in the treatment of Schizophrenia, Bipolar, and hold a specialized certification in the treatment of substance use disorders.

My approach

I use a patient-centered collaborative approach, utilizing the most up-to-date treatments that focus on interventions for psychiatric conditions that generally cause dysfunction in patients' lives.

My communication style

I will spend the majority of our session reviewing your history and symptoms in a non-judgmental environment. You will find working with me seamless and educational for both of us.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked with patients with many disease processes, but I have found working with patients experiencing psychological dysfunction the most rewarding, as it truly affects their entire life when you can help stabilize their most distressing symptoms.

My goals for you

If providing a pharmacological intervention is warranted, we will come to a collective agreement about what medications might benefit you, taking into consideration tolerability and safety.

Our first session

I will spend our initial session collecting information that is imperative to making safe and effective clinical decisions.
