Rebecca Pistorius, M.D., MS

I was drawn to psychiatry as a medical specialty because it integrates biological, psychological, and social factors into the evaluation and treatment of mental illness. I enjoy working with patients of all ages, with specialized training in child and adolescent psychiatry.

Medicine has always been a part of my life. My grandfather was a psychiatrist and practiced until his 90s, and my father, a pediatrician, has always inspired me with his dedication to caring for children. I feel fortunate to combine these two specialties—psychiatry and pediatrics—in my own medical practice.

As a psychiatrist, I value the opportunity to connect with patients on a profound level, addressing all aspects of their lives rather than focusing solely on specific symptoms or conditions. I find fulfillment in the nuances of diagnosis, prescribing medication, and creating individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

My care philosophy is to treat my patients as I would my own family, offering hope, compassion, and encouragement throughout the treatment process.
