Joshua Green, MD, PhD

Psychiatrist, Center City, Philadelphia, PA Office
215-552-8917

Dr. Joshua Green is interested in the thoughtful integration of medication and psychotherapy in addressing emotional suffering. He believes in using medication in the service of psychological growth and balances the goal of symptom relief with the perspective that symptoms often stem from unresolved emotional issues. His approach to psychotherapy is experiential and psychodynamic. Experiential approaches assert that emotional matters must be experienced and resolved in the heart more than in the head. The psychodynamic tradition emphasizes such priorities as identifying and relinquishing defensive patterns, increasing our tolerance of difficult emotions, and healing from destructive experiences during our upbringing. Dr. Green also uses hypnosis, guided visualization, and meditative techniques where appropriate for a patient’s goals and needs.

Dr. Green is available for individual psychotherapy with or without medication management, medication management for patients already in psychotherapy, and consultations.

Dr. Green completed his medical training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and his psychiatric residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where he received awards for excellent care of psychiatric outpatients and for scholarly writing. He also has received a PhD in Neural Science from New York University where he studied auditory physiology.
