Dr. Gil Lichtshein is a board-certified psychiatrist. He earned his medical degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago and completed his psychiatric residency at The University of Maryland/ Sheppard Pratt Psychiatry Residency Program and his fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
Dr. Lichtshein is proud to be one of the early pioneers in using TMS in South Florida in 2010 when it was still in its infancy. It gives him professional satisfaction to see how the advancements in treatments such as TMS, psychedelics, dissociates and empathogens and newer medications are helping treat psychiatric illness.
But most of all, Dr. Lichtshein enjoys his time with patients and likes treating them over longer periods so he can monitor their progress and observe the benefits of treatment firsthand. He is particularly effective treating children and teenagers; observing their improvement and their ability to enjoy their youth is a source of professional pride.
