Dr. Agam Dhawan is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist. He completed 3 years of general psychiatric residency at Western Michigan University and 2 years of child/adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Hofstra Northwell Zucker Hillside Hospital.
Dr. Dhawan’s treatment philosophy is that real life is like a video game. In a game your character starts off with specific stats. They fight enemies and complete quests to get experience points which lets them “level up”. This lets them wield stronger equipment, defeat tougher enemies and complete harder quests.
Dr. Dhawan believes people can take this same philosophy to real life. Every person starts off at different levels, but by leveling up their stats, they can better handle the quests of life. This includes their stats in brain health, body health, relationships, family, spirituality, career, finances etc. And the tools he helps clients use to level up include medications, coaching, SPECT imaging, bloodwork, genetic testing, supplements, mindset, diet, sleep, exercise, among others. He has found a functional and integrative approach gets his clients the best results in their treatment.
