Dr. Breitbart’s diverse experience includes serving as psychiatrist to Refuah Health Center, a community clinic in upstate New York; supporting the mental health of college students at the USC Engemann Student Counseling Center; serving as treating psychiatrist at The Achievable Foundation, a federally qualified health clinic serving individuals with developmental disabilities; and guiding a team at Liberty Healthcare transitioning adults from developmental centers into community settings.

Dr. Breitbart values the importance of working with interdisciplinary teams and partnering with family members and caregivers, an approach she initially developed in her first career as an oncology nurse and later refined as a psychiatrist to vulnerable populations. In addition to comprehensive clinical care, she provides relatability, empathy, and a strong focus on psycho-education. Her aim is to empower individuals to own their mental health trajectories.
