Dr. Froehlich’s patient care philosophy stems from his belief in a patient’s right to make informed decisions in their own care. He views his role as working with them to provide an accurate assessment of their diagnoses and treatment options so that they can decide which options best align with their personal goals and values. He is passionate about helping patients minimize their side effects, remove unnecessary medications, or find the right medication combination that works best for them. At Serenity Health Centers, he treats his patients through TMS, ketamine therapy, and medication management.
Dr. Froehlich earned his professional degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 2016. He considers himself fortunate to have matched at The Ohio State University for Psychiatry Residency which allowed him to return to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. After completing his residency in 2020, he stayed on at Ohio State for a one-year fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry.
Outside of work, Dr. Froehlich has an interest in many types of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, skiing, etc. He also enjoys playing chess, word puzzles, spending time with his wife and two children, and studying topics that interest him. He speaks and understands Spanish at an intermediate level and has a personal goal of improving his fluency to be able to use it in his practice as an adult psychiatrist.
During his residency, Dr. Froehlich was fortunate to have the opportunity to provide TMS to patients. He found it powerful to see people improve without suffering from common medication side effects. He sees TMS and Ketamine as very useful tools to have in the toolbox of mental health treatments and he looks forward to being able to incorporate these interventional treatments into his daily practice. Dr. Froehlich welcomes the opportunity to meet with new patients to help them on their journey to take back their lives from mental illness.
