Dr. Elizabeth Faust is board-certified in Psychiatry with a fellowship in Integrative Psychiatry. She started in Family Medicine while in the Navy, where she also was a Flight Surgeon. She has practiced medicine since 1999, focusing on Psychiatry since 2007.  

Dr. Faust practices with an integrative approach to see what medical factors contribute to symptoms, unhealthy thought or relationship patterns, and lifestyle factors that maintain dysfunction. Unexamined, medications will only work briefly. While medications are part of treatment to acutely improve symptoms, she also brings in lifestyle changes, nutrition, spirituality, and social connection as resources to recover function and maintain wellness.

Dr. Faust worked at Iowa City VA, out of residency, treating fellow veterans and training residents at the University of Iowa. She then worked for Group Health in Washington, followed by independent work in telepsychiatry long before the pandemic. Most recently, she worked for Virginia Mason Franciscan to establish a Collaborative Care model of practice to provide expert consultation and support for primary care physicians to continue to care for their patient's mental health within the primary care setting.

Dr. Barbara Lampert is a board certified psychiatrist, diplomat of The American Board of Addiction Medicine, and Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. She trained at the Downstate School of Medicine in Brooklyn, NY, completed her internship at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and her residency in Psychiatry at the David Geffin School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles.

In over 30 years she has worked in inpatient  and outpatient settings, has taught 3rd year residents psychopharmacology in the Mood Disorder clinic she created, has consulted in the prison system, and has volunteered in the aftermath of natural disasters. She joined the New Mexico Medical Reserve Corps and was active in the Corps while working in her private practice. She continued to study the effects of trauma when she returned to California in 2008. She received specialized training in EMDR and Dialectic Behavior Therapy. In addition  she studied substance abuse problems and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Addiction Medicine.

Empathy forms the core of Dr. Lampert’s approach to treating patients. Working with trauma survivors she believes that the goal is not to dwell on “the story” because patients often need time to reconstruct an accurate history. Rather, helping patients manage the challenge of living in the present moment is a worthy goal.  Dr. Lampert has been named in Best Doctors in America for the treatment of Mood Disorders and Best Doctors in California. She has remained dedicated to the dual path she’s followed for years-that is excellence in Biological Psychiatry and psychology. She looks forward to working with you to help you achieve your treatment goals.

Welcome to Talkiatry.

My passion is caring for patients with Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Social Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ADHD.

My philosophy is to provide a comprehensive approach utilizing medication, supportive therapy and psychoeducation.

I strive to provide care in a compassionate, non judgmental, and nurturing environment, taking time to explore symptoms, actively listen to the patient thus getting to know the person as a whole, their life stressors and what they are striving to achieve.

My goal is to provide the support my patients need to achieve their optimal functioning.

I believe a person’s ability to heal and be their best begins with a trusting relationship with their healthcare provider.

I completed my Adult Psychiatry Residency Training at Creighton-Nebraska University and have been practicing psychiatry for over20years in Nebraska and South Florida.
