Get to know Psychiatrist Dr. Scott Wiener, who serves patients in Bellevue, Washington.

Dr. Wiener is a board-certified psychiatrist with a decade of experience working with adults, teens, and children. He currently sees patients at Prisma Wellness in Bellevue, Washington. Some of his areas of expertise include ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, both physical and emotional trauma, and developmental disabilities.

His work to reduce the usage of controlled narcotic medications in treating many conditions remains at the core of his treatment approach. Beyond all else, he is devoted to discovering the underlying causes affecting his clients using the most progressive scientific methods throughout the course of his treatment.

Back in the early days of his academic career, Dr. Wiener attended the NYU School of Medicine and completed his residency in psychiatry at Zucker-Hillside Hospital. His experience ranges from emergency room work to directing a mental health clinic, serving an inner-city population in Queens, New York. Following these experiences, he ran a private practice in New York where he first became passionate about functional medicine and the use of genetic testing, nootropics and adaptogens (medical supplements), and nutrition to treat mental illnesses.

An authority in his field, the doctor is board-certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). The ABPN is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to serving the professions of psychiatry and neurology.

Alongside his clinical role, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Touro Medical College and at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he trained medical students and residents in an integrative and functional medicine approach to mental health. Since moving to the Northwest in 2020, he has continued his role training future clinicians as Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at Seattle University and Pacific Lutheran University. While teaching is important to him, his passion remains the time he spends working with his clients.

Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behavior, cognition, and perceptions. Psychiatrists evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients with mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. They conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations, develop treatment plans, prescribe medication, and evaluate treatment results.
