Harvard Psychiatrists Launch www.exclusivetherapist.com, a
Traditional and Non-Traditional Therapy Information and Referral
Site, Announces Sirvini LLC

BELMONT, MASS., December 6 /CNW/ - Two Harvard-trained psychiatrists
with
26 combined years of experience as physicians have compiled
www.exclusivetherapist.com, a website that enables clients and
providers to be
connected in a variety of areas including yoga, psychotherapy, massage
therapy, energy healing, medication management, physical training and
nutrition and acupuncture. The site is expected to be the leading
referral
resource of it kind within the next two years.

The site, described as "timely, research-based and well-
integrated" by
Shervert Frazier, M.D., a former president of the National Institute
of Mental
Health and Professor Emeritus at Harvard Medical School, provides a
referral
base, information via articles and daily factoids as well as the
opportunity
to interact with experts in the various fields. Drs Robert Irvin and
Srini
Pillay, the site's creators were motivated by the obvious need to
integrate
the different forms of therapies using a combination of research and
intuitive
care. "Clients and providers will have access to cutting edge
technology
including online scheduling in an effort to cut down on phone-tag,"
says Dr.
Irvin. Dr. Pillay describes the site as "one-stop shopping for all
your
wellness needs."

"It is a very creative site with a lot of hard work to help people
integrate the wealth of information out there," said Dr. Christopher
Palmer,
Director of continuing medical education at McLean Hospital,
Harvard's largest
private psychiatric hospital.

Pillay and Irvin state that they hope that this site will lead
the way to
the better integration of services and more cost-effective
consultation.
"People pay a lot of money to have one question answered in a
psychiatrist's
office," said Pillay. "The 20 questions section is the iTunes of
therapy
consultation." By this, he is referring to the small fee of $15
instead of up
to $400 to have focal questions answered by experts on a daily basis.

Craig L. Katz, M.D., a New York City psychiatrist who co-founded
Disaster
Psychiatry Outreach, noted that this site is one of a kind, bringing
together
a range of research-based information and referral possibilities to
clients
throughout the United States that is as broad in its coverage as it is
in-depth. "I believe that the creators of this site clearly have
their fingers
on the psychological pulse of Americans and stand by with an expert
repertoire
of tools with which to minister to the rhythms of human life and
experience,"
said Katz.
