Dr. Greenfield specializes in mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, as well as stress-related disorders and medical illness management.

Dr. Greenfield also specializes in behavioral medicine, an interdisciplinary field of medicine that integrates psychophysiological therapies such as biofeedback, hypnosis, relaxation training, and CBT. Behavioral medicine integrates knowledge from the biological, behavioral, and psychological aspects of health in order to create a holistic approach to treating physical and mental illness. Research suggests that physical conditions are influenced by stress and poor health behaviors. Changing behavior can cause improved health, coping ability, and wellness.

When appropriate, Dr. Greenfield employs a behavioral medicine approach to help clients manage chronic illness, medication, stress, and anxiety.
