Christopher Camilleri, MD

Dr. Christopher Camilleri has been working as an outpatient general adult psychiatrist for the public mental health system, non-profit agencies and private practice. His life was seriously impacted by depression in his twenties and his life was temporarily put on hold. He was able to recover with various supports in the community and mental health services. Dr. Camilleri eventually pursued and attained my educational and professional goals and became a psychiatrist.

Dr. Camilleri understands from personal and professional experience the importance of support in the community and supportive, helpful relationships with mental health professionals, even if the time spent with them is brief. His approach includes utilizing brief therapy and medication when helpful. His passion is to provide helpful guidance to help empower clients to gain mastery over their symptoms and problem issues, pursue and attain their goals, simply to recover their lives back. Dr. Camilleri enjoys teaching others what he has learned.
