Dr. Gideon Matzkin is a board-certified psychodynamic psychiatrist who has helped hundreds of patients and their families struggling with a range of disorder including self harm, chronic suicidality, addiction, mood, anxiety, psychotic and attentional disorders. He  believes in harnessing the power of family and interdisciplinary collaboration in order to help his patients reach their potentials.

Dr. Matzkin began his career by completing his medical degree (MD) at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology followed by psychiatry residency training at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia.
