Peter Berndt, M.D. brings a lifetime of experience, first as a family physician and now as a psychiatrist, to his current work with individuals, companies, and organizations in The Woodlands, Texas. He was a small town family physician for 18 years. Dr. Berndt did all the things a family physician did in those times. Everything from seeing patients in the office to house calls to delivering several hundred babies over the course of his career.
Dr. Berndt then began a psychiatric residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, which he completed in 1982. He has been in private practice since then, most recently in The Woodlands, Texas, after finishing a stint as psychiatric consultant for ICE at their detention center in Denver.
Sometimes psychotherapy is not enough by itself and medication may also be needed. If this is your case, please do not feel ashamed. You are among thousands of people who need medication because of a chemical imbalance in the brain. Studies have actually shown that when therapy and medication are combined, people do better than if they only have one or the other. We enjoy working together, and we see how well our patients feel using a more collaborative approach.
