History of Insight Medical


   We are a small independent Psychiatric/ Mental Health practice...

How we came to be....
It was apparent that there were not enough psychiatric providers in our area available and willing to treat patients without exhorbitant wait times.... I had been a Family Practitioner, trying my best to treat basic mental health complaints and knowing I had limitations, but wanting to do more... especially in the area of substance abuse.  This drove me back to school to MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, to get additional training in Psychiatric Mental Health Advanced Practice Nursing, and resulted in this Integrative practice.
​      Our model involves re-uniting mind, brain and body, helping people find a way back to original health and insight... thus we like to include therapy and the option for medication management in one office. The theoretical principal of self healing with a guide prevails....
