 Spectrum Behavioral Health proudly announces the newest member of our team; Akira Otani, Ed.D., A.B.P.H. Dr. Otani joins Spectrum, having recently been with the Counseling Center at the University of Maryland, College Park. Having spent his childhood in Osaka, Japan, he is fluent in both the English and Japanese languages. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychological Hypnosis. We are very proud to introduce him as a qualified member to our outstanding team and excited to welcome him in both offices. He is available to accept new patients immediately.
Ronald F.
