How Dr. Martirosyan approaches treatment
Dr. Martirosyan's dual board certification in adult psychiatry and addiction psychiatry gives her a clinical lens that most psychiatrists don't carry into a standard evaluation. For patients dealing with substance use alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, or bipolar disorder, she treats those conditions as connected rather than routing addiction to one provider and psychiatric care to another. That integrated view shapes how she sequences treatment, which medications she considers, and how she thinks about relapse in the context of a patient's broader mental health picture.
For addiction specifically, her approach centers on medication-assisted treatment combined with trauma-informed support, recognizing that substance use in most patients is downstream of unresolved trauma or undertreated psychiatric conditions. Addressing the pharmacological side without the underlying drivers produces short-term stabilization at best.
Her patients also have access to SavantCare's 1:1 trauma-informed yoga sessions, which she coordinates alongside treatment particularly for patients in recovery, where somatic regulation and nervous system support play a meaningful role in reducing the stress responses that drive cravings and relapse.
