Who you will see

Care at the practice is team-based: Dr. Melvin Chagas Silva (consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist), Alan Fernandes (counseling psychologist) and Griselda Nobbay (psychiatric social worker) work together so that medication, therapy and psychosocial support are coordinated rather than fragmented.
