Evaluations

Dr. Goldenberg provides individualized psychiatric and addiction evaluations for healthcare providers and pilots. Dr. Goldenberg is a HIMS trained psychiatrist providing psychiatric, HIMS, SSRI and ADHD evaluations for the FAA. Each evaluation is designed to answer a question or series of questions and includes a fitness for duty evaluation.

The questions may be vague, “what is causing the decrease in work performance or memory problems?” Or the questions may be specific, “what is my mental health diagnosis” or “do I have an addiction?” Accordingly, the intensity and length of each evaluation is customized to be able to accurately answer the specific questions of each individual case.

Pilots

Other Professionals

Despite being highly successful in all other areas of their lives many professionals suffer from depression, mood swings, anxiety or other mental health problems. In many cases, their highly stressful and busy lifestyles lead to problematic or out of control drugs and alcohol use. Some professionals also work in safety sensitive roles as their clients depend on them to function at an optimal level. Dr. Goldenberg has experience treating professionals at every stage of career.
