Robert S. Emmons, M.D. Psychiatrist
Psychoanalytic • Family Therapy
I have focused my career on direct clinical service. In addition, I have volunteered my time to train junior colleagues in the fields of psychotherapy practice and ethics. I have also engaged in public education and advocacy around the problems that arise when private organizations like insurance plans and public agencies intervene in the patient-doctor relationship.
