As in anything that matters, it is important to choose wisely when it comes to mental health. Psychiatrists have received extensive medical and psychiatric training (this combined training usually spans almost a decade) and they function both as therapists and as physicians. Given the growing importance of an integrative focus that takes into account mind and body, psychiatrists are uniquely suited to assess your problems in a comprehensive fashion.
Dr. Colibazzi received his medical degree (M.D.) from the Catholic University of Rome, Italy. After working for the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), he went on to train in Psychiatry at Northwestern University in Chicago, where he served as Chief Resident. He later moved to Columbia University and completed a clinical research fellowship in mood and anxiety disorders. He worked in the Expert Evaluation Service of Columbia University and in the Children’s Hospital of New York, providing consultations in diagnostically complex cases.
