Whole-person mental health, rooted in science and compassion.

Integrative Psychiatry for Women, Families, and Anyone Seeking Whole-Self Mental Care

Too often, people are told their struggles with focus, mood, sleep, or brain fog are “just stress,” “just aging,” or “all in their head.” At Mind & Meridian, we know better.

These challenges may be shaped by hormones, by ADHD, or by the complex interplay of mind and body. Whatever the cause, they are real and they deserve thoughtful, personalized psychiatric care.

What Mind & Meridian Helps You Solve:

  • Mood swings, anxiety, depression, irritability, or low mood

  • Brain fog, memory lapses, and focus problems impacting work and home

  • Insomnia, 3 a.m. wakeups, and non-restorative sleep

How We Work (In Plain English):

  • Evidence-based psychiatry tailored to both midlife physiology and ADHD across the lifespan

  • Hormone-aware protocols that coordinate with your OB-GYN, PCP, or specialists

  • Measurable care plans with clear goals, structured check-ins, and ongoing adjustments

Why Mind & Meridian:

  • Our focus: midlife transitions, ADHD, and integrative care for the whole person.

  • Led by a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with acute-care depth.

  • A listening, validating environment with no dismissiveness, no one-size-fits-all answers, and always with compassion at the core.

You are not your symptoms. You are a story, a history, and a future worth honoring.
