Ryan Vidrine, MD

Dr. Vidrine is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist who specializes in treating patients with OCD, Body Dysmorphia, Anxiety Disorders, and Treatment-Resistant Depression. He has always found himself fascinated by the neuroscience of how experience and relationship attachment lead people to become who they are, living how they live, as a product of both their biology and the multitude of experiences (good and bad) that they have accumulated. This passion for understanding both the science and the human experience is what led him to psychiatry, with a particular interest in the field of Interventional Psychiatry and Neuromodulation. He sees Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a new tool that offers a novel approach to treating a variety of psychological disorders. He was particularly intrigued by TMS because he sees it as the most accessible form of precision, circuit-based clinical treatment that can be offered in psychiatry. This tool allows practitioners to manipulate specific …circuits in the brain that could be overactive or underactive, over-connected or under-connected, and without causing side effects to the rest of the body. Dr. Vidrine feels that when combined sensibly with other forms of treatment and life changes, TMS has real potential to help the field to intervene in new ways to ameliorate patient suffering. He provides medication management, as well as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), for his patients whose symptoms have not completely resolved with therapy and medication. He approaches all of his patient encounters from the perspective of providing treatment in the interest of getting people to connect with and move closer to their values, and incorporates various disciplines including ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ERP (Exposure and Response Therapy), Mindfulness, and the latest evidence in pharmacology, neuroscience, and neuromodulation.
