Welcome to my website! I am a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in the diagnosis and management of psychiatric disorders. Guided by the principles of evidence-based medicine as well as a holistic approach, I treat a wide range of psychiatric illness, including depression, anxiety, bipolar spectrum disorders, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, interpersonal and relational issues, grief and loss, adjustment with life transitions and attention deficit disorder.
THE PRACTICE
I understand that each patient has a unique set of needs and concerns, and I offer an individualized, collaborative and informative approach to psychiatric assessment.
I have experience treating a wide variety of psychiatric illnesses for individuals, couples and adolescents transitioning into adulthood.
ABOUT DR. CENTENO
I am a psychiatrist practicing in Marin, CA since 2006. Educated at UC Berkeley, trained at Stanford University where I served as chief resident in the Stanford Psychiatry Department, and certified by the Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, I provide a variety of clinical services. These include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, consultations, second opinions, medication management and psychotherapy.
PHILOSOPHY
I have extensive experience in prescribing medications and keep up with the latest advancements in psychopharmacology and neuroscience. I pay special attention to explaining the current biological understanding of where and how symptoms arise and how psychiatric medications work. I frequently combine drug therapy with psychotherapy for the greatest relief of symptoms, integrating psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and mindfulness techniques into talk therapy.
