Dr. Green provides psychiatric consultation services in his private practice and offers an office-based buprenorphine maintenance program to support recovery from opioid addiction. She enjoys providing lifestyle medicine consulting to people interested in maximizing their mental and physical health by replacing unhealthy behaviors with positive ones, such as healthy eating, physical activity, managing stress, avoiding the use of dangerous substances, improving sleep, and improving the quality of relationships.
Green serves as the medical director of the opioid treatment program and works with a team of counselors, nurses and other health care providers. The program provides evidence-based treatment (such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone) to people suffering from opioid use disorder (such as addiction to heroin, fentanyl, or prescription pain medications).
Previously, Green worked in community health and mental health settings, providing consultation to behavioral health teams, integrated care teams, substance abuse intensive outpatient programs, and women’s perinatal residential programs. She also enjoyed supervising medical residents as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine. During her training in the UNC Department of Psychiatry, she had the honor of serving as chief resident, clinical psychiatry instructor, and psychotherapy supervisor.
Green is passionate about how we can add years to our lives and how we can add more to our lives through lifestyle medicine. She focuses on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for herself through work-life balance, meditative practices, and a plant-based diet. She finds joy through a continuous growth mindset, sharing quality time with her partner, and spending time outdoors backpacking and mountain biking.
