Dr. Claunch is a Neuropsychiatrist. He completed training and board certification in both Neurology and Psychiatry leading to a unique, integrated approach. He also has a background in various forms of psychotherapy including Cognitive, Behavioral, and different Depth Psychology modalities. While he does still practice some general neurology, he also has a virtual private practice where he works with clients to understand their complex medical and neurologic symptoms. Dr. Claunch provides patient care in select cases where separate treatment in the neurology clinic and the psychiatry office have not effectively addressed the patient’s problems.
At Practical Neuropsychiatry Inc, Dr. Claunch helps patients organize very complex and distressing symptoms into a coherent story. He guides them through the classical medical model when appropriate, and then helps with direct patient care (testing, prescribing, and counseling) when the problem is too complex for the standard medical model.
Amjad Bahnassi quite literally could not have gotten out of Syria any sooner. Born and raised in the capital of Damascus, Bahnassi graduated high school at 16 and finished medical school at 22. The day after graduation, he left.
"I was ready," he said.
Bahnassi came to Worcester in the early 1980s for a residency program at UMass Medical Center as a psychiatrist and never left. After completing his residency, he started Behavioral Healthcare Services, a practice he still leads after more than 25 years.
I hold dual board certification as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and an Adult Nurse Practitioner. I have extensive experience as an Adult Nurse Practitioner which offers an in-depth understanding of the relationship between medical and psychiatric illnesses.
My clinical practice includes psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment including psychiatric medication management that is tailored to each unique individual. I believe in the importance of an integrative mind-body approach to provide my clients with holistic, personalized care to address both their mental and physical health needs.
My approach is collaborative, and I feel it is important to work with your primary care provider, therapist, and other treatment providers as a team. I will establish a caring, therapeutic relationship with you. I will explain your diagnosis and treatment options and work with you to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
