Albertina Kerr is pleased to welcome Dr. Gabriel Orenstein, D.O., to our psychiatry team at our Crisis Psychiatric Care for Youth (Subacute).

Dr. Orenstein brings a collaborative, evidence-based approach to supporting children and adolescents experiencing mental health crises. Heโ€™s dedicated to creating a safe, therapeutic environment where youth and families feel heard and can begin their journey toward healing and recovery.

Before becoming a physician, Dr. Orenstein explored mindfulness through meditation, martial arts, and yogaโ€”practices that continue to shape his holistic perspective on mental health care.

He completed his General Psychiatry Residency at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University, where he served as Chief Fellow.

Outside of work, Dr. Orenstein strives for balanceโ€”whether spending time in nature, watching Marvel movies, experimenting with new recipes, or patiently training his two feline companions.
