Athlete Psychiatry

Psychiatry for Professional & Serious Amateur Athletes

Feel like your head is getting in your way? More self-doubt than confidence and swagger? Things speed up on you? Can’t focus? Dr. Burstein has treated hundreds of professional athlete and serious amateur athletes with these and other psychological issues, helping them get back on track and competing at their best.

Professional and dedicated amateur athletes face unique stresses. In order for athletes to succeed at meeting the competition demand, medications must help their particular problem without impairing their stamina, fine motor coordination, and focus. Both of these goals are taken into consideration when considering a balanced regimen for each individual.

Dr. Burstein is a MLB Certified Psychiatrist and has also worked with football players and golfers who are seeking to “be their best.”
