Lea C Watson MD -

Providing consultation and training to providers across the continuum of aging services, using behavioral health integration strategies, anchored in psychopharmacology review. In person or virtually, we meet you where you are.

About

Dr. Watson is a physician, teacher and cheerleader on issues of behavioral health in late life and sensible use of medications, especially for vulnerable populations and those living with dementia. She started LCWMD, LLC to extend the reach of geriatric psychiatry.

Consultation

There are too few geriatric psychiatrists to fill the gap of behavioral health services in late life. We provide consultation to LTC stakeholders and primary care providers using behavioral health integration strategies, anchored in psychopharmacology review.

Training

Few clinicians, and even fewer staff and families, receive education on late life behavioral health and the risks of medications. We extend the reach of geriatric psychiatry with targeted training for all levels along the continuum of providers, families and caregivers.
