Jay Faber, MD, ABAARM, MSHS

Jay Faber, MD, is a double board-certified Adult and Child/adolescent psychiatrist. He practices at the Amen Clinics, a renowned brain health imaging center, in Encino, CA. In addition to his psychiatric degrees, Dr. Faber found it necessary to acquire a board certification in metabolic medicine from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. In addition, Dr. Faber then went on to complete a Masters Fellowship at George Washington University in Integrative Medicine. With that expansion of education, Dr. Faber has found more effective holistic ways to address both brain-body issues.

Along with the academic accomplishments, Dr. Faber has authored a book, Escape: Rehab Your Brain to Stay Out of the Legal System. The book was helps those who have been involved with the criminal justice system to get out and stay out…forever. The chapters in this book directly focus on the premise that individuals are not always bad people, they just have bad brains that need appropriate and effective biological/psychological/social care.

When not in the office setting, Dr Faber runs a foundation, the Faber Brain Youth Foundation. This nonprofit charitable organization reaches out to young adults ages 18-30 who have an interest in the performing arts but have not necessarily learned business/leadership skills. The group meets with these budding young adults helping them develop pertinent development skill sets including critical thinking, goal setting, mental toughness, resilience, and purpose.
