About Me

Welcome to

Ma Psychiatry

Welcome! I’m Dr. Amy Salerno.

I am a Board Certified Physician with extensive experience in mental health issues across all life stages. I am Fellowship trained in both Integrative Psychiatry and Maternal Child Health. I offer holistic, culturally competent care, in both English and Spanish. As a family practice physician, I see all ages, including children.

Would you like a better understanding of personal, family, academic, or work-related challenges? If you struggle with depression, anxiety, or poor focus, I can help you become your ‘best self.’

My approach treats the entire person. This includes nutrition, supplements, self-care, sleep hygiene, psychotherapy, and medication. My goal is to always work with my patient to find a care-plan that is specifically designed for you. It is important to create a treatment plan that is manageable for your needs.

My specialities include Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorders, ADHD, PTSD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, sensory processing, executive function, as well as Medication Management. I also perform one-time psychiatric assessments for Immigration Evaluations and Court-ordered Evaluations related to divorce proceedings.

Some treatment approaches which I have used in my practice are:

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

  • Life Coaching

  • Emotionally Focused Therapies

  • Attachment-Based Parenting

  • Mindfulness

  • Social Skills Building

  • Emotional Regulation Therapy
