“The Krasner Faculty Practice: psychiatry reimagined. Rigorous assessment, high-impact treatment first, and family at the center — a living plan for lasting change.”
Assess. Treat. Plan. A New Paradigm in Adolescent Psychiatry
Most psychiatric care waits for treatments to fail before escalating. We believe that is backwards.
At the Krasner Faculty Practice, we start with the most incisive assessments and the most effective treatments upfront. Every case begins with PsychNow, our asynchronous digital intake, combined with dual psychiatrist–psychologist evaluation. The result is a living, breathing treatment plan that guides all phases of care and is updated weekly when our full faculty meets around the table.
This plan drives a new order of treatment:
Families are never left out. Family therapy and parent management training run throughout, anchored by Dr. Krasner’s free parent support group every Tuesday.
We are a mission-driven faculty, operating with cohesion, communication, and flexibility. Together, we model what families can be — and we are leading the paradigm shift in adolescent psychiatry.
Krasner Faculty Practice
Relational, Developmental, Family-Centered Psychiatry for Adolescents
The Krasner Faculty Practice is not business as usual. We are mission-driven, interdisciplinary, and united by a simple conviction: the old way of waiting for treatments to fail is backwards. We are inverting the paradigm.
A New Model for a Youth Mental Health Crisis
Adolescence is the most sensitive period of human development — when psychiatric conditions most often emerge. Yet teens and families are met with long waits, fragmented care, and conventional approaches that only escalate after repeated failures.
The Krasner Faculty Practice exists to change this trajectory.
How We Work: Living Assessment, Revolutionary Planning
Rigorous Assessment, Done Right
Every case begins with PsychNow, our asynchronous digital intake, layered with in-depth evaluation by both psychiatrist and psychologist. These inputs generate a living treatment plan, not a report on a shelf, but a dynamic roadmap updated in real time.
Planning as the Engine of Care
The treatment plan is the throughline of our work. It informs every decision, coordinates every intervention, and guides the full faculty practice in weekly Thursday meetings. Cohesion, communication, and flexibility are not buzzwords — they are the operating principles of our team.
Inverting the Paradigm
Conventional wisdom waits until therapies fail before escalating to more powerful treatments. We see this as a mistake. At the Krasner Faculty Practice, we begin with interventions that have the greatest effect sizes — interventional psychiatry, pharmacology, and experiential therapies that restore regulation and rewrite the narrative early in the treatment arc. Once the foundation is restored, teens are far better prepared to engage in conventional psychotherapy and sustain meaningful progress. This is not a tweak to the old model — it is a paradigm shift.Our philosophy isn’t just theory—it’s the practical foundation that enables breakthrough when standard care has reached its limits.
