Lake Union Psychiatric Group

Kjersti Braunstein, MD

I am a lifelong Washington State resident and completed my medical degree at the University of Washington where I also went on to complete residency training in psychiatry. Following that training, I completed the University of Washington/Seattle Children’s Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Training Program for further subspecialty training.  During both my general and child training experiences, I gained supervised experience both providing and working with therapists providing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to both teens and adults. I strive to provide caring and genuine therapy and medication management that is well informed with regard to both the benefits and the very real limits of medications. My clinical interests include the treatment of depressive, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
