Qualifications

Dr. Haller attended the University of Michigan where he majored in psychology and graduated with honors. He then attended medical school, also at the University of Michigan. After a rotating medical internship in Wayne County, Michigan, he continued his training with an Adult Psychiatry Residency at Duke University in Durham, NC. He then further specialized with a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Michigan. After fulfilling his military service at Fort Stewart, Georgia, where he was the director of the mental health unit, Dr. Haller joined a private practice in the Maryland/DC metropolitan area in 1979. He has been practicing here ever since.

Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in Adult Psychiatry, in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and in Forensic Psychiatry, Dr. Haller is one of fewer than 100 psychiatrists in the entire United States holding all three certifications as of 1998. He has lectured in educational and professional venues and testified as an expert witness in criminal and civil cases, yet he maintains a small and unique private practice catering to the emotional needs of children, adolescents, and adults.
