Dr. Heidi Napolitano
Biographical Information |
Dr. Heidi Napolitano specializes in the treatment of children,
adolescents and adults with a variety of psychiatric disorders
including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional
Defiant Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and
Schizophrenia. She also has extensive experience in treating
patients with self-injury and substance abuse issues.
Dr. Napolitano received her degree as a Medical Doctor from the
University of Tennessee College of Medicine, and then completed her
residency training in psychiatry at the University of Arkansas for
Medical Sciences. She has had experience in treating patients in
many different settings. Her inpatient work has included evaluation
and treatment of patients on forensic units, in dual diagnosis
programs, and in an adolescent sex offender program. She has
experience in acute psychiatric/emergency inpatient treatment, and
also in long-term residential treatment programs for the severely
chronically mentally ill. As a resident, she served as Chief
Resident at the Arkansas State Hospital, and also did additional
work as an on-call psychiatry consultant at the Arkansas Children’s
Hospital.
Currently, she is seeing outpatients at two locations: she
continues to see patients at her outpatient practice in downtown
Orlando, at 417 East Jackson St., Orlando, FL 32801; she also is
now seeing patients 3 days a week at her new office at 7601
Conroy-Windermere Rd., Suite 202, Orlando, FL 32835. She also is
one of two psychiatrists treating the patients of Pasadena Villa,
which is a long-term residential treatment facility for chronically
mentally ill patients.
Dr.
Napolitano’s philosophy in treating her patients revolves around
actually taking the time needed to really listen to the person who
knows the patient best, which is of course, the patient. She then
combines her training and experience, along with logic, common sense
and a genuine concern for her patient’s well-being, to provide
accurate, informed and caring guidance and treatment. She also
stays well-informed of cutting edge treatments and technologies in
the field of psychiatry, and thus is able to offer a bigger variety
of diagnostic and treatment options.
