Judith E. Pentz, MD, is a holistic, alternative/integrative psychiatrist with board certification in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. She seeks to combine the best of western and integrative medicine for support of your mental well being. The goal is to be as gentle as possible and to stimulate the natural healing mechanisms that we all have in our body.

Some of the modalities may include orthomolecular/nutritional options, homeopathy, targeted amino-acid therapy, as well as other options. The integrative approach includes the spiritual/emotional part of our being, as well the mental and physical part of our being. Therapy is often necessary to support the many changes that are part of the integrative approach. This may include brief individual therapy, family therapy, or more intense, depth psychotherapy.

Dr. Pentz also serves businesses and organizations as a resource during a difficult event, or to prevent one occuring. She has the experience and tools to help diffuse problematic situations with ease, minimizing the effects of a crisis on employees and their productivity. Her expertise can also be invaluatble for pro-active companies open to internal assessments and plans of action to address issues before the depths of the effects are felt.

Dr Pentz attended the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo (MCOT) where she received her medical degree in 1985. The school’s name recently changed to the University of Toledo after a merging of resources. She completed her training at MCOT in child, adolescent, adult psychiatry in 1990.
