Psychiatrist, UC-Davis trained | Holistic & integrative approach
Dr. Barusch treats anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and a wide range of life challenges. He has additional training in psychotherapy and integrative psychiatry and draws on mindfulness and Buddhist-informed practices when helpful.
Approach the Treatment
Dr. Barusch takes a holistic and collaborative approach to treatment, working closely with each individual to understand how their physical health, emotional life, and personal history interact. Rooted in mindfulness and influenced by Buddhist principles, his style encourages awareness, compassion, and balance. In the first session, he spends time getting to know the whole person, their strengths, challenges, and daily routines, to identify what may be standing in the way of growth and well-being.
Evidence-based methods we use
When therapy is part of your plan, we draw from proven approaches such as CBT, ACT, Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, Behavioral Activation, Motivational Interviewing, CPT for trauma, IFS-informed, and family systems work tailored to your needs and cultural context.
Medication management services starts with an initial intake session which can range between $350-$550, based on complexity.
Follow-up sessions cost between $90-$180 depending on client needs, session length (between 5-30 minutes), and complexity.
Do I have to take medication forever?
Not necessarily. Many people use medication as a tool for a period of time. We’ll revisit the plan regularly and discuss tapering when appropriate.
Can you work with my current therapist?
Yes. With your consent, we coordinate closely to align goals and avoid duplicated or conflicting strategies.
What about controlled substances (e.g., stimulants for ADHD, benzodiazepines, opioid-use-disorder treatments)?
We follow evidence-based, safety-first guidelines and applicable laws. When clinically indicated, we discuss options, monitoring, and alternatives to ensure safe and effective care.
Is this only for “diagnosed” conditions?
No. You don’t need a prior diagnosis. Dr. Barusch offers thorough and comprehensive evaluations
Will you also talk about lifestyle and non-medication supports?
If it feels relevant. Sleep, movement, nutrition, mindfulness, and social connection often improve outcomes when combined with medication and therapy.
Whether you’re starting therapy, exploring medication options, or combining both, we’ll help you find a treatment plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
The unique mission of UCEBT is to improve the quality of mental health care by enhancing access to comprehensive evidence-based treatments, evaluations, and testing.
