Philosophy
My number one goal is to walk the walk with people and help them when they are in a storm so the end result is smooth sailing. Now, being a facilitator of the patient concerns means not handling and solving their problems for them. Rather, collaboratively working with them to help them solve their problems. Help them generate solutions and never stealing their destiny. Patients have to learn to how to generate solutions. Doctors and therapists need to keep our heads clear so we can do our work with our patients. This means give patients the independence to sort out their lives. That doesn’t mean bypass supporting your patients. Of course you give support. We sometimes call our clinic FBH University because we go through so much knowledge and support when it’s appropriate. You just don’t do it to the point that it weakens your patients and they are worse off than when they entered your office. I and my team work appropriately and diligently to help shed light in my patient’s lives with our biological, psychological a social treatments. We look forward to you reaching your healthy state of wellbeing.

Dr. Parvin believes in being up to date with current knowledge. His practice is cutting edge with regard to safety issues e.g. laboratory tests and clinical rating scales. He is not a believer in pills solving all problems. He believes that most human beings can benefit from exploring treatment possibilities in the Biological, Psychological, Social and when appropriate Spiritual centers of the healing process. Biological treatments can consist in exploring the possibility of organic causes for illness e.g. seizure disorder, anemia, electrolyte abnormalities etc. and biological treatments e.g. medications. The psychological treatments focus on psychotherapy e.g. Individual or group therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Play Therapy, Applied Behavioral Analysis etc. Social treatments can include testing, government assistance, school support etc. Spiritual treatments would be centered on encouraging the patient’s own higher power beliefs which have been shown in research articles to help in the healing process e.g. AA the number one treatment for alcohol dependence. He does not emphasize any particular faith to his patients and Dr. Parvin is respectful of religious backgrounds and cultures.
