Dr. Diana Deister, MD

Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
MA
Dr. Deister provides a boutique psychiatric experience for the whole family, with timely appointment availability and individualized care. She earned her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Texas, San Antonio, completed her Psychiatry residency there, and pursued a Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Brown University.

Through your work together, Dr. Deister gains a full picture of your life and how best to help you and your family achieve your goals. She emphasizes non-medication approaches as the most sustainable path to health, though medications may be prescribed with careful attention to preventing or eliminating side effects while obtaining full benefits. Most patients are offered nutritional treatment guided by laboratory testing for a personalized plan. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, social life, spirituality or religion, family relationship quality, and school or occupational functioning are typically explored on your journey to health.
