Overview

Dr. Yudkoff is an academic clinician who focuses on advanced neurotherapeutic interventions (such as electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and ketamine/esketamine treatment), psychopharmacology, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.  He also helps manage our Partial Hospital Program – a group-based day program designed to transition people out of inpatient hospital stays, treat illness in the community that might otherwise require inpatient level of care, and manage treatment refractory illness in a consultative format.  I hope to translate state of the art research into the latest and most efficacious treatments for people in need.  Dr. Yudkoff focuses on a humanistic approach, seeing the whole individual and not just a collection of symptoms of diagnoses.  His hope is that the people he treats feel agentic, validated, and connected to themselves and their recovery plans.

Dr. Yudkoff is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Major Depression. His top areas of expertise are Major Depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Bipolar Disorder (BPD), and Schizoaffective Disorder.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
