In addition to treating common psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, insomnia, and psychotic disorders, Mrs. Moga specializes in the treatment of feeding and eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma-related disorders, and autism spectrum disorder.
