Specialties

Care for conditions others often overlook

While most practices focus on general psychiatry, C Psychiatric Solutions is built around complex conditions that require genuine depth of expertise — led by a physician with Medical Director experience across both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Addiction Psychiatry

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol dependence, combining FDA-approved medications with therapy for sustainable recovery.

Dual Diagnosis

Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders — addressing both conditions simultaneously for more effective, lasting outcomes.

Personality Disorders

Specialized care for borderline personality disorder using Dynamic Deconstructive Psychotherapy (DDP) — one of the few evidence-based therapies developed specifically for BPD.

Medication Management

Thoughtful, evidence-based prescribing paired with ongoing monitoring — not a quick fix, but a carefully managed part of your overall treatment plan.

Psychotherapy

Individual sessions using CBT, DDP, EMDR and other proven approaches — tailored to your specific diagnosis, history, and goals.

Outpatient Detox

Safe, medically supervised withdrawal support without hospitalization — for patients who need structure without inpatient admission.

Our Approach

The Four C's of every treatment plan

Comprehensive

A full psychiatric evaluation is the foundation. We don’t treat symptoms in isolation — we understand the complete picture of who you are before making any recommendations.

Collaborative

You don’t exist in a vacuum. We work alongside primary care physicians, nutritionists, pain specialists, and your support network to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Consultative

Every month, Dr. Phillips provides a written insight report — explaining what’s happened in your treatment, what it means, and where things are headed. No guesswork.

Compassionate

Mental illness carries weight — for you and everyone who loves you. Our care is rooted in genuine understanding of that burden, not clinical detachment.

Specialty Program

✦ SAMHSA-Recognized Evidence-Based Treatment

BPD & addiction treated together for the first time.

Most patients with borderline personality disorder and co-occurring addiction have been failed by prior treatment — seen in isolation, managed but not transformed. Dr. Phillips uses Dynamic Deconstructive Psychotherapy (DDP), one of the only evidence-based approaches specifically developed to treat BPD, alongside his addiction psychiatry expertise to address both conditions at once.

Developed by Dr. Robert Gregory at SUNY Upstate Medical University — where Dr. Phillips trained
Recognized by SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs (NREPP)
Supported by randomized controlled trial evidence (Gregory et al., 2008) with 30-month follow-up data
Targets emotional dysregulation, self-destructive behavior, and substance use simultaneously

DDP

What is Dynamic Deconstructive Psychotherapy?

DDP is a structured, one-on-one psychotherapy that works by helping patients develop a richer, more nuanced understanding of their emotional experiences — breaking down rigid, all-or-nothing thinking that drives self-destructive behavior and addiction. Unlike many approaches that treat BPD and addiction as separate problems, DDP addresses the core emotional and relational patterns that underlie both.

Emotional Differentiation

Building the capacity to identify, tolerate, and articulate complex emotional states.

Relational Repair

Addressing the unstable, intense relationships that characterize BPD and fuel relapse.

Identity Reconstruction

Rebuilding a coherent, stable sense of self that isn't dependent on substances or crisis.

Integrated Psychiatry

Medication management and MAT woven into the same treatment plan — not siloed separately.

This program is designed for patients with

Borderline Personality Disorder

Co-occurring addiction

Trauma history

Emotional dysregulation

Failed prior treatment

Self-destructive behaviors

Our Philosophy

Care that meets you where you are

No two patients are the same. Your mental health is shaped by your biology, your history, your relationships, your culture, and your circumstances. Effective psychiatric care has to account for all of it — not just the symptoms you present with on day one.

Dr. Phillips has built C Psychiatric Solutions around that belief. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough understanding of the whole person — because that’s the only way to build something that actually works.

All backgrounds welcome

Culturally sensitive care

Addiction recovery

Dual diagnosis

Telehealth available

Personalized from the start

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation — not a 15-minute intake — forms the foundation of every treatment plan at C Psychiatric Solutions.

Culturally sensitive care

Dr. Phillips brings an international perspective and genuine cultural humility to his practice — creating a space where patients of any background feel understood and respected.

Transparency throughout

Monthly progress reports keep you informed about your treatment — what’s working, what’s changing, and where you’re headed. No guesswork, no surprises.
