TOWNSHEND — Dr. Mario Hasaj, a psychiatrist with the Brattleboro Retreat, is accepting new patients at Grace Cottage Family Health in Townshend.
Hasaj sees adult outpatients Monday through Friday at Grace Cottage.
“I work with patients with a wide variety of issues,” he said, “ including mood disorders, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), dementia, Alzheimer's, geriatric depression, and bipolar disorder. A combination of counseling, medication, and various types of behavioral therapy can help in so many cases.”
Hasaj is a graduate of the University of Buenos Aires Medical School in Argentina. He completed his residency at the SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and a fellowship in geriatric psychiatry at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. He is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; his specialty is adult psychiatry.
Prior to joining the Retreat five years ago, Hasaj worked at the Jersey City (N.J.) Medical Center and Catholic Community Services in outpatient and partial hospital programs. He has also worked in the psychiatric emergency department at Jersey City Medical Center and provided psychiatric consultation services for Palisades Medical Center. His private practice in New Jersey focused primarily on providing psychiatric consultations to residents of nursing homes.
