Hello, I'm Lauro P.

I’m a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 30 years of experience, with a clinical focus on treating adolescents and adults who present with complex psychiatric and neuropsychiatric conditions. My work centers on helping individuals with mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, cognitive and behavioral challenges, especially when neurological or developmental factors complicate these. I prioritize evidence-based care that’s also deeply personal, culturally aware, and grounded in empathy. I regularly manage challenging cases that require careful diagnostic work and close collaboration across various disciplines. I utilize tools such as quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), neuroimaging, and structured assessments to gain a better understanding of brain-behavior relationships and to guide treatment decisions. My practice encompasses medication management, psychotherapy, family support, and consultation in both clinical and forensic settings. I am known for providing thoughtful, individualized care that balances evidence-based treatment with deep empathy and cultural sensitivity. Frequently, I address complex cases that necessitate coordination among multiple specialties, including those related to traumatic brain injury, treatment-resistant depression, and functional impairments. I integrate tools like qEEG, neuroimaging, and structured psychiatric assessments to inform my clinical decision-making. Additionally, I offer ongoing psychotherapy, medication management, family guidance, and consultation in both clinical and legal contexts.
