Ari Kestenberg, Psychiatrist
Taking the first step to address your mental health can be daunting; my mission is to provide support and high quality care through an integrated psychiatric lens. In completing my psychiatric residency at the University of Connecticut, I became well versed in treating a wide variety of complex psychiatric conditions. My approach involves formulating personalized treatment plans framed by evidence-based medicine in collaboration with you as an individual.
Outside of practicing medicine I strive for continuous self-growth through the practice of yoga and actively immersing myself in new endeavors. Join me on the path to wellness and feeling your best self.
