About Dr. Nivea Calico

"My Goal is to help you feel better and get you back to living a meaningful and joy filled life." -Financial assistance with Sliding scale fees happily offered. Adult Psychiatrist/Psychopharmacologist Specializing in Panic Disorder and Postpartum Depression "I’m a dedicated and caring physician. One who believes that her role as physician is not only that of a healer, but also a teacher. I believe that a successful treatment fundamentally relies upon our joining together in the pursuit of your health and wellness. In my practice I provide psychopharmacology, concurrent brief psychotherapy and guidance on lifestyle modifications that are capable of significantly improving your life & well-being. I believe in comprehensive & compassionate care. An approach which takes into account all of your needs including psychiatric, psychological, social and spiritual needs. When practicing psychotherapy, I mainly use Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). ISTDP is a unique form of psychodynamic treatment that facilitates the rapid resolution of a broad spectrum of emotional disorders. Being a medical doctor, who specialized in psychiatry, gives me the ability to diagnose possible medical causes responsible for the presenting psychiatric symptoms and allows me and you the confidence in knowing that you are being accurately diagnosed and treated; thereby ensuring comprehensive and proper treatment. Overall, I see my role as a physician, as one who is meant to foster hope and insight, decrease suffering and help you achieve more freedom through personal growth and expression.
