History of Insight Medical


   ...It is apparent that there are not enough psychiatrists available and willing to treat patients in our area without exhorbitant wait times.... I had been a Family Practitioner, trying my best to treat basic mental health issues and knowing my limitations but wanting to do more...especially in the area of depression and substance abuse.  This drove me back to college to MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, to get additional training in Psychiatry, 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....
