A believer in the ‘uniqueness’ of each patient, Dr. Herring customizes the care of each patient to meet their individual needs. Appreciating that each person responds differently to treatment, she tailors care based on a variety of options. She evaluates her patients psychiatrically, physically, as well as neurologically in order to provide treatment incorporating psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy, TMS therapy, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and pain management. Her objective is to apply the right therapy so that each patient experiences a significant improvement in his or her quality of life and enjoyment of life, in a timely manner.

Following her training, she attained board certification in psychiatry and pain medicine by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to promoting high quality patient care for the public through the initial and continuing certification of psychiatrists and neurologists.

Nowadays, she is serving on the Admission Committee at Jefferson Medical College, and supervises residents at Drexel University College of Medicine. She is also seeing patients at The Zabrecky Institute of BioMedicine in Villanova.
