Dr. Jeffrey Cluver is a long-time resident of the Charleston area with two decades of experience as a psychiatrist.
Dr. Cluver earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame, and his medical degree from Vanderbilt University. He then completed his residency training at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Dr. Cluver is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, is a fellow in the American Psychiatric Association, and is a member of the American College of Psychiatrists.
Throughout his career, Dr. Cluver has provided clinical care for patients along the full spectrum of mental illnesses and treatment settings, from in-patient care to outpatient clinics, addiction recovery, and therapeutic interventions. He is especially interested in treating adults with mood and anxiety disorders (such as depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, social and other phobias, PTSD, and panic disorder) using a combination of medication and psychotherapy.
When discussing diagnosis and treatment with his patients, Dr. Cluver approaches treating psychiatric diseases the same way we treat other medical illnesses. Initially, he focuses on identifying and clarifying the patient’s diagnosis in order to develop an appropriate treatment plan supported by the most up-to-date scientific data and best practices. He believes in taking a tailored approach to each patient’s individual pharmacologic and therapeutic needs, and he diligently works with his patients to achieve and maintain remission of their symptoms.
