About Wellsmith

At Wellsmith Integrative Mental Health, we believe mental health is about more than reducing symptoms—it’s about helping you build a healthier, more resilient brain for life.

Our approach combines evidence-based psychiatry with nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and the principles of personalized medicine. We recognize that genetics, sleep, hormones, exercise, metabolic health, nutrition, stress, relationships, and life experiences all influence emotional well-being.

Every treatment plan is individualized. For some people that includes medication. For others, it may emphasize lifestyle interventions, psychotherapy, nutritional strategies, or targeted medical evaluation. Most often, it includes a thoughtful combination of these approaches.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, or brain fog—or simply want to take a proactive approach to your long-term brain health—our goal is to help you understand the factors influencing how you feel and develop a practical, evidence-based plan that fits your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is integrative psychiatry?

Integrative psychiatry combines evidence-based psychiatric care with a whole-person approach, considering how sleep, nutrition, exercise, hormones, metabolic health, stress, and lifestyle influence mental and brain health.

What is personalized (precision) psychiatry?

No two people are exactly alike. Personalized, or precision, psychiatry recognizes that genetics, biology, lifestyle, environment, and life experiences all influence mental health.

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, we develop individualized treatment plans based on your unique needs and goals.

Do you specialize in brain health?

Yes. In addition to treating mental health conditions, we work with individuals who want to support healthy brain aging and reduce potentially modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline. While no physician can prevent dementia, there is growing evidence that optimizing sleep, physical activity, nutrition, cardiovascular health, stress management, and other lifestyle factors can support lifelong brain health.

What conditions do you treat?

We work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, brain fog, chronic stress, sleep difficulties, perimenopausal mood changes, fatigue, and related concerns.

We also work with individuals interested in optimizing brain health, cognitive performance, emotional resilience, and healthy brain aging.

Who is an ideal patient?

Our patients are often busy professionals, parents, and caregivers who want to feel—and think—at their best.

Some are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, or brain fog. Others want to proactively support brain health and build resilience for the future.

Do you offer virtual appointments?

Yes. We offer virtual appointments for adults located in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.

How do you differ from traditional psychiatry?

We look beyond diagnosis and symptom management to understand the biological, psychological, lifestyle, and environmental factors that may be influencing how you feel.

Treatment is personalized and may include medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, nutrition, and targeted medical evaluation when appropriate.

Will I have to take medication?

Not necessarily. Medication can be an important part of treatment, but it is rarely the only option. Recommendations are individualized and made collaboratively based on your symptoms, goals, and the best available evidence.

Can you still help if I have "normal" labs?

Yes. Standard testing doesn’t always tell the whole story. When appropriate, we review your history, lifestyle, and prior testing to determine whether additional evaluation could help identify modifiable contributors to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, poor concentration, or brain fog.

Do you offer specialized laboratory testing?

Sometimes. Testing is recommended only when it is likely to meaningfully influence diagnosis or treatment. Our goal is to use testing thoughtfully while ensuring important contributors to mental and brain health are not overlooked.

How do I know if Wellsmith is good for me?

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personalized approach that combines evidence-based psychiatry with lifestyle medicine—and you’re interested in understanding not just what you’re experiencing, but why—Wellsmith may be a good fit.

What can I expect in my first appointment?

Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation designed to understand your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals so we can develop a personalized treatment plan.

Who will benefit from my services?

As a board-certified psychiatrist and Assistant Professor at Harvard, I believe medication can be an important part of treatment for many individuals. My approach combines the best of traditional psychiatry with evidence-based lifestyle and integrative therapies, creating personalized treatment plans that address the whole person—not just the symptoms.

By considering factors such as nutrition, sleep, hormones, metabolic health, stress, and lifestyle alongside conventional psychiatric care, I help patients build a foundation for lasting mental wellness.

Busy Professional Women

Balancing a demanding career, family, and personal responsibilities can leave you feeling mentally exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself. We help high-achieving women restore focus, resilience, and emotional well-being through personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care that addresses the root causes of stress—not just the symptoms.

Perimenopause

Hormonal changes during perimenopause can affect far more than your cycle. Mood swings, anxiety, disrupted sleep, brain fog, and irritability are common—but they don’t have to define this stage of life. We provide compassionate, integrative care to help you navigate hormonal transitions with confidence and clarity.

Women With ADHD

ADHD often presents differently in women and can go undiagnosed for years. Difficulty focusing, emotional overwhelm, disorganization, and chronic self-criticism are often misunderstood. We offer comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans that help women better understand their brains and thrive in every area of life.

Midlife Mental Health

Midlife brings significant physical, emotional, and life changes that can impact mental well-being. Whether you’re experiencing increased anxiety, depression, loss of motivation, or simply don’t feel like yourself anymore, we help uncover the underlying factors and create a personalized plan to restore balance and vitality.

Brainfog and Fatigue

Persistent mental fog, low energy, and difficulty concentrating aren’t simply part of getting older. They can be signs of underlying issues involving sleep, hormones, nutrition, inflammation, or metabolic health. Our integrative approach helps identify contributing factors so you can regain mental clarity and sustained energy.

Anxiety and Burnout

Living in a constant state of stress can leave you feeling anxious, emotionally depleted, and unable to fully enjoy your life. We combine evidence-based psychiatric care with lifestyle and integrative strategies to help reduce anxiety, prevent burnout, and build long-term emotional resilience.
Whole Person Approach

Whole Person Approach

You know something isn’t right—but every test comes back “normal.” You’re told it’s stress, aging, or that you simply need more sleep. Maybe you’ve been offered medication to manage the symptoms, yet deep down, you feel there’s more to the story.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, brain fog, poor focus, chronic fatigue, or restless sleep, your body may be trying to tell you something.

At Wellsmith, we look beyond the diagnosis to uncover the underlying factors that may be affecting your mental health. By exploring the connections between sleep, hormones, nutrition, inflammation, metabolic health, and lifestyle, we create a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan designed to help you feel clear, energized, and like yourself again—not just cope with your symptoms.
