Dr. Ackerman aims to provide patients with a treatment plan that addresses the whole person. Sometimes that means he draws upon his training in evidence-based psychopharmacology. However, he also specializes in wellness and positive psychiatry. Over the years his practice style has evolved to be one in which he focuses on emotional-behavioral growth as much if not more than prescriptions. 

When not in the clinic he’s usually with his wife and children - preferably outside in the woods, on a lake, or hiking a trail. He also watches way too many movies.
