Dr. Crosby provides comprehensive psychiatric assessment and treatment to adolescents admitted to the inpatient adolescent unit and to children, adolescents, and young adults as outpatients. He also provides coverage and consultation at the Adolescent Partial Hospitalization program and at Sibcy House. He enjoys treating patients of all diagnoses and at all levels of severity. He manages the care for patients with diagnoses ranging from eating disorders to anxiety and mood disorders to severe psychosis to difficulties related to trauma and loss. In his daily interactions with his patients, he strives to also serve as a consultant to their families in their efforts to support their loved ones and chose effective treatment interventions.
Dr. Crosby joined the medical staff at Lindner Center of HOPE for the opening of the center in 2008. In 2010, he founded the Center for Attentional Disorders in order to consolidate and coordinate efforts at the center to provide the best possible assessment and treatment for ADD/ADHD and the conditions that frequently accompany it such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and learning disabilities. He has made efforts to reduce stigma as well as to raise awareness of this often insidious illness and its tendency to undermine achievement and success in many facets of life, including learning, work, relationships, and health. Since 2009, he has served on the professional advisory board for the Suburban Cincinnati CHADD chapter. He gives talks on topics related to ADHD and provides consultation to other providers regarding attentional difficulties and aspects of performance.
Prior to working at Lindner Center of HOPE, Dr. Crosby provided child, adolescent, and adult psychiatric services primarily for community mental health clients via the Pine Rest Traverse City Clinic in Traverse City, Michigan and the Manistee-Benzie Community Mental Health Center in Manistee and Benzie Counties, Michigan. While there, he managed the outpatient treatment of children, adolescents, and adults with moderate to severe mental illness including disorders of behavior, anxiety, and mood; psychosis; the effects of abuse, neglect, and trauma; and autistic-spectrum illness. Dr. Crosby has also spent time in private practice and in treating veterans at the VA Medical Center.
