Westfield, NJ - Eileen A. Zhivago MD is being recognized by
Continental Who’s Who as an Trusted
Psychiatrist and in acknowledgment of her work at Cohesive Health and
Wellness.
Dr. Zhivago is the Founder and Psychiatrist at Cohesive
Health and Wellness. She treats patients of all ages at her office locations in
Allendale and Westfield, NJ.
As a double board-certified Psychiatrist, Dr. Zhivago works with kids and their
families to understand and treat family issues and mental health issues. Her approach
to treatment is modern, while also conservative. She strives to listen
carefully to each patient in order to ensure the most favorable outcome
possible.
Inspired by her grandfather who was a Physician in Europe, Dr. Zhivago wanted
to help people, too. After practicing Medicine since 2014, she started her own
practice, Cohesive Health and Wellness, in 2019. She treats both children and
adults, and often takes a family-centered approach to healthcare.
To obtain her college education, Dr. Zhivago attended school in Romania, her
grandmother’s native country. She graduated with a Medical degree from Victor
Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Subsequently, she returned to
America to complete a Psychiatry residency at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School,
where she also served as Chief Resident. Dr. Zhivago then pursued her
Fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Mount Sinai-St.
Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital Center, in New York, NY. She holds board
certifications in Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry through the
American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). The ABPN is a nonprofit
which certifies doctors in the specialties of Psychiatry and Neurology who
attain the necessary education and training in these fields.
As she looks to the future, the doctor plans to expand her operations and
continue to remove the stigma regarding mental health issues and treatments.
She says, “I’m a huge believer in reducing the stigma of mental health —
there’s no shame in walking into a doctor’s office to get a strep test when
you’re feeling under the weather, and the same should apply when seeking help
to improve yourself emotionally and psychologically.”
In other aspects of her work, Dr. Zhivago works as a Clinical Assistant
Professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. She also teaches as a Clinical
Instructor at Mount Sinai Hospital Center.
The doctor is an active member of the American Psychiatric Association and the
American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She has been involved with
scientific research work, which has been published in the Journal of
Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, and the American Journal of
Psychiatry Residents Journal. Dr. Zhivago has also given presentations at the
American Psychiatric Association, the American Medical Association, and the
Institute of Psychiatric Services.
Awarded for her success, Dr. Zhivago was named among New Jersey’s Favorite
Kids’ Docs in 2020.
In her spare time, Dr. Zhivago enjoys traveling, skiing, snowboarding, and cooking.
