Getting to know Dr. Christopher Bernetski

Christopher Bernetski, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist with experience in inpatient, integrated primary care, and mental health settings. He earned his medical degree from the UNC School of Medicine at Chapel Hill and completed residency training at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Dr. Bernetski served for 9 years with the US Navy and US Marine Corps in both primary care and psychiatry roles. He has experience treating mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, and trauma-related conditions using supportive therapy, CBT, prolonged exposure therapy, and cognitive processing therapy. Dr. Bernetski works to create a collaborative, supportive environment without a hierarchical patient-provider dynamic. He aims to be clear and direct in his assessments and recommendations while helping patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns. His approach focuses on shared decision-making so patients can actively participate in building a treatment plan that fits their goals and values. Dr. Bernetski begins by reviewing a patient’s concerns along with their medical and mental health history. He works with patients to clarify treatment goals and prioritize concerns when multiple issues are present. He then provides a concise assessment and discusses both psychotherapy and medication options, including benefits and drawbacks, so patients can make informed decisions about their care.
