Nadav Klein, MD

Nadav Klein, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist, who did his residency at The Ohio State University and completed a fellowship in hospice and palliative medicine at Cornell and Columbia University hospitals. He has extensive experience assessing and managing psychiatric and psychological issues ranging from challenging life circumstances including relationship conflict, family, identity, grief, serious medical illness, existential anxiety and meaning-making as well as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

He prefers to take a whole-body approach to helping the people he cares for engage fully in their lives in the domains of work, love and play. He finds that while medications and other psychiatric interventions are often helpful, psychotherapy, as well as sleep, diet and exercise, are all integral parts of a healthy mind and body. He has found that treatment needs to be tailored to the individual as everyone has their own life experiences and preferences.

He enjoys spending his time with his family and enjoying the outdoors.
