ABOUT

ABOUT DR. LAROSE

Philosophy â€‹

​

Modern psychiatry focuses on treating symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety and depression with medications. Some medications work well and many have even saved lives. Unfortunately, some medications have significant side effects and are habit forming. There is a place for medications but they are not a panacea. We need medications to help when symptoms significantly interfere with our function, but in order to fully heal, we also need to explore the underlying causes of our symptoms. Once we address these causes, we can then work on developing mental health. â€‹Mental health doesn't just mean the absence of mental illness. Mental health includes living a meaningful life while accessing all the emotions we evolved to feel including surprise, sadness, fear, anger, happiness and joy.

 

My treatment process includes looking at you as a whole person. We can check to see if there are any medical problems or nutritional deficiencies contributing to your symptoms. We can explore your past and address why you developed any maladaptive habits including unhealthy relationships, perfectionism, workaholism or substance abuse. We can determine what you can change and how to find motivation to change. We can discuss aspects of positive psychology such as forgiveness, gratitude and resilience that will help you heal and grow as a person. We can create goals for a more fulfilling life such as improving the quality of your relationships, finding meaningful work, spending time in nature, eating healthier food, moving your body, or finding time to rest and play. We may also decide to start or adjust medications or supplements based on your individual needs.

Who am I

​

I’m Anna Terajewicz LaRose, M.D., my friends call me Ania and my kids call me mom.

​

I’m a Holistic Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist located near Albany, NY. I am not only a psychiatrist but also a patient. I started learning about psychiatry during my first year of medical school when I had an episode of depression and was asked to get treatment before continuing my studies. My journey towards mental health began there.

 

I have learned first-hand that psychiatric treatment works best when it is combined with other interventions that address the whole person. Over the years I have honed my skills with medications & psychotherapy and also learned complementary skills to improve mental and physical health.

Potential Patients

​

I provide psychiatry and psychotherapy services to adults (18 years and up) with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD and substance abuse. ​ My coaching services can help people in life transitions and those who want to explore who they are and where they want to direct their lives going forward. 

 

​I am licensed to practice medicine in New York and Massachusetts. I can do virtual or in person visits.  I am available for in person appointments in my Delmar office, right outside of Albany, New York. 

​

Holistic Psychiatry and Psychotherapy services are not covered by insurance and are out of pocket only. Please call for fees. For General Psychiatry services, I accept CDPHP commercial insurance and Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York (NENY HMO POS and NENY FEP) insurance. Please see the Services section for more details.  The initial appointment is a consultation and we will determine if this is the best practice setting for you.

 

I encourage you to contact me if you want to create a space to think about nurturing yourself and your values so that you can start creating a more meaningful and joyful life. If you are not ready to start working with me but are interested in learning more about psychiatry, please check out the helpful links or blog pages for resources and books I recommend to improve mental health.

​

Due to the limitation of being an outpatient, part-time, solo practitioner, I do not offer urgent or emergency visits at this time. I cannot safely work with individuals with acute suicidal intentions or those with acute psychosis. I also cannot work with individuals who have severe substance use disorders who are in need of medical detoxification. Please go to your nearest Emergency Department, call 911 or call/text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Hotline, to get immediate help. You can also call the Albany County Mobile Crisis team 518-549-6500.

Between stimulus & response there is a space.
​
In that space is our power to choose our response.
​
In our response lies our growth & our freedom.​
