Dr. Genova has experience treating adults, older adolescents, LGBTQ+ individuals, and recent immigrants.

Although he focuses on medication management and interventional psychiatry, Dr. Genova also values psychotherapy and utilizes brief therapy in his sessions and coordinates with therapists, primary care providers, and other medical specialists where needed. Dr. Genova offers his clients access to TMS, Spravato, ketamine and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as well as more traditional therapies. Although he discusses new treatment options with his clients when appropriate, Dr. Genova works to simplify medication treatments with the goal of increasing each patient’s quality of life. He is excited to take part in researching the potential benefits of psychedelic medicines for mental health and utilizing treatments already available such as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and esketamine.

When he is not in the office he enjoys biking, hiking, and photography. He totally geeks out on iNaturalist and can be seen wandering trails documenting nature as an amateur biologist. While he will always cherish long hikes along the Potomac River, he now enjoys exploring the quiet serenity and majesty of the Arizona desert and nearby mountains.
