BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Willenbring is an international recognized addiction psychiatrist who has been pioneering new ways to treat alcohol and drug use disorders for over 40 years. During his early career as a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota his research focused on better ways to manage chronic complex conditions, where substance use, mental and physical disorders are often combined. He was a leader in implementing findings into clinical practice at the VA Healthcare System.
Dr. Willenbring was then recruited by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, where he directed the Division responsible for funding research grants on alcohol treatment and recovery. He was a leader in developing research on the basic science of the mechanisms of change, an effort that is still going strong today. Upon his return to Minnesota, Dr. Willenbring first worked with Allina Mental Health and developed an extensive knowledge of the current private mental health care in the US. Three years later, he founded Alltyr Clinic in St Paul, MN to pilot his model of care which seamlessly integrated mental and substance use diagnosis and treatment. It was staffed by master level mental health professionals and addiction psychiatrists providing services in one clinic. In 2022, Dr Willenbring retired his clinical practice and closed Alltyr Clinic. He is presently a Senior Advisor with a telehealth company, Path Mental Health.
