Yevgeniy Gelfand, MD
Dr. Gelfand received his Medical degree from SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn NY in 2006. Fascinated with overall wellness as well as the mind-body interface, he went on to complete combined training in both internal medicine and psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina. Since completing his residency at MUSC, Dr. Gelfand has worked in Emergency and inpatient psychiatry as the medical director of an intensive outpatient mental health program.
As a practicing psychiatrist, Dr. Gelfand’s approach is holistic, informed as it is by both his medical and psychiatric experience. He strongly believes in the transformative power of mindfulness, therapeutic processes and psychotherapy.
He is especially compelled by those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and trauma related disorders, and understands how adverse experiences can play a strong part in our development as individuals; with his mindful application of new and ancient remedies, Dr. Gelfand seeks to assist his clients in vastly improving their quality of life.
He participated in a clinical trial investigating using MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for treatment resistant PTSD through MAPS. This experience, as both Clinical investigator and therapist in the study, was pivotal for Dr. Gelfand, as it deepened his understanding of trauma and how to work with it.
Accordingly, Dr. Gelfand became one of the first ketamine-assisted psychotherapy providers in SC. He utilizes this treatment modality to catalyze transformative processes, especially for those who suffer from depression, anxiety and trauma. Dr. Gelfand's experience working with psychedelic medicines help him provide unique support to those who seek to clarify and integrate their journeys towards peace and wellness.
