About the Doctor

Dr. Lichtman is a board certified adult psychiatrist trained in both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy.


I received my BA from Yale University in literature and film.  I subsequently studied Pre med at Scripps college in Claremont, CA.  I attended the University of California, San Francisco for medical school and completed a four year residency training at the Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency Program.  I also completed a 2 year fellowship in Long Term Psychotherapy at the Harvard Medical School Adams House Fellowship.  I have more than 5 years experience treating patients in a private practice setting.


 In addition to medical training, I have a background in literature and film that is appreciated by patients who are creative artists, writers, entrepreneurs, academics, and anyone with interdisciplinary interests.  Most importantly, I truly love being a psychiatrist and this translates into attentiveness and openness to discussing any life problem
