About Dr. Shahoud:
Dr. Geith Shahoud has had quite a journey from Syria to Western Pennsylvania.
He graduated from the University of Damascus in Syria and practiced internal medicine for two years before taking up practice in Pittsburgh.
He practiced internal medicine with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for three years, but his interest in psychiatry continued to grow.
Not long after, he found out that the University of Missouri in Kansas City had a program that combined the medical aspect with psychiatry.
He made the decision to move to Kansas City and take the course, graduating.
He stayed and practiced child psychiatry at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
Dr. Shahoud moved back to the Pittsburgh area and was hired as the Medical Director of Mental Health at Highland Hospital located in Connellsville PA. While there he treated adults who had problems ranging from drug and alcohol abuse to mental illness and emotional and behavioral issues and children with many different behavioral and pervasive development disorders such as Autism or Rhetts.
Dr. Shahoud began working at Southwood Psychiatric Hospital for children located in Pittsburgh, PA. He continues to work there today. His patients there have a wide variety of psychiatric disorders. Dr. Shahoud has also worked at Excela Health Latrobe Hospital located in Latrobe PA where he treated children and adults with many different psychiatric disorders.
In 2009, Dr. Shahoud successfully opened his own private practice called Western PA Behavioral Health Resources. He then opened a second office in Latrobe, PA and in 2010 opened a third office in Butler, PA. The practice continues to grow each day.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that one in every 150 children is born with Autism. Dr. Shahoud thinks it’s a problem in our local communities and also thinks we are lacking in services for them. He hopes his offices will be able to work closely with the schools in the areas to screen for... show more any problems. show more

Tabitha F. asked:Hey Everyone I am looking for some recommendations around this area. My Son has ADHD and ODD. Since we moved to Latrobe (about 5 years ago). He has been going to Excela Behavioral Health for his medication and therapy. Well my son’s behaviors have increased and between Excela Behavioral Health and Latrobe Hospital they have done NOTHING for him and us. So I am looking for a better place I can take my son for his medication and therapy. I prefer Latrobe area but willing to go as far as Greensburg and Ligonier. Only the best for my son!!!Candace R. replied:http://www.wpabhr.org
