Katherine Buchowski
Introduction
I consider it an honor and privilege for someone to trust me with their life story and their mental health. I promise to do my best to help every person I see achieve the optimal mental health possible. Often, but not always, medication is necessary to achieve this goal. I am not your average psychiatrist who likes to prescribe. Psychiatric medications often have side effects and are not always effective. I believe in using the minimal amount of medication for as little time as possible. Sometimes this is just one medication for a year, but sometimes that is not possible and multiple medications indefinitely are required. It all depends on the individual. I have lots of experience, having been in private practice in St. Louis since 2006. I completed medical school and my psychiatric training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where I graduated at the top of my class. My specialties are mood and anxiety disorders, especially in women, but I see anyone (ages 18 and up) with all types of illnesses and problems. I was born and raised in Chicago. My parents are Thai-American. I have 2 young adult daughters. In my spare time, I love to read fictional novels, listen to music, keep active, and spend time with my dogs.
