Therapeutic Approach
Dr. Romanelli’s approach to psychiatric care is grounded in the connection between physical and mental health. His work is guided by:
- Whole-Person Medicine: As a physician trained in both internal medicine and psychiatry, Dr. Romanelli evaluates emotional symptoms alongside the medical factors that may be contributing to them.
- Collaborative Treatment Planning: He partners with each patient to build an individualized plan rather than applying a standard protocol.
- Integrated Care: Working within The Terrebonne Group’s collaborative model, he coordinates with our therapy team so that medication management and psychotherapy reinforce each other.
