Bio coming soon.

Dr. Paley is a board-certified psychiatrist with a clinical focus on the full spectrum of substance use treatment, from medical stabilization and pharmacologic management to complex psychiatric comorbidity and long-term recovery. His work spans both addiction medicine-oriented care and addiction psychiatry, with an emphasis on treating patients holistically rather than fragmenting care across silos. He has worked across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and
residential treatment environments which has given him deep insight into the challenges facing today’s medical delivery system.

In addition to clinical work, Dr. Paley has held leadership and medical director roles, where he has focused on improving access to evidence-based care, integrating medical and behavioral health services, and addressing the structural failures that leave vulnerable patients without support. He brings a pragmatic, systems-level perspective to addiction treatment which is grounded in both frontline clinical experience and an understanding of policy, financing, and real-world constraints.

As an advisor, Dr. Paley is committed to advancing compassionate, effective, and humane responses to substance use – particularly for populations who are underserved, stigmatized, or overlooked by traditional systems of care.
