About Dr. Laura Whitman
Dr. Laura Whitman is a board-certified addiction psychiatrist who holds a Doctor of Medicine (MD) and is board-certified in addiction psychiatry. She treats substance use alongside the anxiety, depression, and trauma that so often accompany it, and she reviews clinical content here to confirm it reflects current psychiatric and prescribing guidance.
What keeps Laura in this field is watching people rediscover that they are not broken. She has a calm, practical style and a gift for helping patients and families understand how the brain changes in addiction, and how the right combination of medication and therapy makes lasting recovery realistic. She believes everyone deserves care that treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
