Mental Health Providers
Gary Christenson, MD  Gary Christenson, MD
Education: University of Minnesota Medical School, 1986
Credentials:  American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology
Advanced Training & Residency: Psychiatry - University of Minnesota, 1990
About Myself:

My special interests are the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and obsessive compulsive disorder.

My role in mental health care is to conduct diagnostic evaluations and direct medication management in collaboration with the clinic's nurse practitioner. I consider both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to the treatment of mental health illness.

I view the physician as an advisor and educator with patients being presented with information about reasonable options so that they can make the treatment decisions whenever possible.
