Calivor Psychiatric Solutions is the vision of Dr. Harrison Strom, a board-certified psychiatrist committed to redefining mental health care with expertise, empathy, and a focus on the individual. Dr. Strom’s clinical foundation was built during a rigorous psychiatry residency at Stony Brook Medicine in Long Island, where he established himself as a scholarly leader by delivering several grand round presentations on high-stakes topics such as the management of behavioral health codes, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and lamotrigine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome. This commitment to academic excellence continues through his current roles as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and as a member of the clinical faculty at the Quinnipiac University Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine. Further contributing to the field’s body of knowledge, his work has been featured in the peer-reviewed journal Psychiatry Research.

Throughout his career, the majority of Dr. Strom’s clinical expertise has been forged on inpatient psychiatric units working with highly acute patients. During this time, he encountered a consistent and troubling story: patients frequently felt their outpatient experiences were hurried, impersonal, and lacking a high level of care. Many expressed frustration at being seen primarily by APRNs; while acknowledging that mid-level practitioners can manage many cases adequately, these patients felt that their specific, complex needs demanded the specialized expertise and diagnostic depth of a psychiatrist. These insights became the driving force behind Calivor, a practice designed specifically for those who have struggled to find clarity through traditional channels.

As a solo practitioner, Dr. Strom operates Calivor primarily on a cash-only model to ensure that every patient receives the time they deserve, free from the constraints often imposed by third-party payers. While the practice is thoughtfully expanding to accept select insurances, this transition is being managed with strict care to ensure that the high level of clinical attention and individualized service remains uncompromised. This philosophy allows Dr. Strom to dedicate himself fully to listening, assessing, and crafting treatment plans that prioritize diagnostic precision and effective medication management. To further support those with demanding professional lives, the clinic offers late evening and weekend hours, providing flexible access to expert care outside of the standard work week. By delivering this hospital-grade expertise through secure telehealth, Dr. Strom provides a path to hope and lasting wellness from the comfort of home, rooted in the belief that mental health care should be as distinct and nuanced as the person receiving it..
