He provides in-depth psychological treatment for adults utilizing a broadly psychodynamic perspective, carefully informed by current cognitive-behavioral methods.
Dr. Prescott is the director of Principium Psychiatry’s intensive outpatient program for mood and anxiety disorders. Being pluralistic, humanistic, and psychoanalytically-informed, Principium’s IOP requires a unique touch, which Dr. Prescott and the clinical team at Principium Psychiatry provide. As director of the IOP, Dr. Prescott facilitates multiple therapy groups while serving participants as a resource and guide as they make their way through the program.
As an individual therapist, Dr. Prescott seeks to work with each patient from where they truly are in life, no matter how difficult their circumstances are. He specializes in the treatment of dissociative and trauma-related disorders and has worked with combat veterans, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and victims of violent crime, among others. He is also well-versed in most of the world’s major cultural and religious traditions — both Eastern and Western — and adept at bridging cultural and intellectual divides.
