About Dr. Chandra

I have spent the last fifteen years learning about evidence-based integrative approaches in psychiatry and continually stay up to date with the latest cutting-edge innovations in neuroscience to provide the best possible care. This clinic is the culmination of those efforts, combining treatment modalities that I believe are essential for long-term healing. I invite you to explore the integrative approach and discover the possibilities it offers.

Fortunately, I had the opportunity to learn about integrative and functional medicine, which focus  on uncovering root causes and recognize the deep connection between brain and body health.  Although I was initially skeptical, I saw patients improve in ways I hadn’t seen before—they weren’t just managing symptoms, they were truly healing.

Becoming a doctor felt like a natural choice given my love for science and desire to develop meaningful, long-term relationships with patients. Despite training in the country’s top psychiatric hospitals, however, I didn’t see patients getting well or thriving to the extent I believed they should. Instead, I saw patients being put on more and more medications, often without significant improvement but with increasing side effects.

Dr. Suruchi Chandra, MD, is a Harvard- and Yale-trained psychiatrist whose work focuses on going beyond standard psychiatric diagnoses and labels to better understand the underlying brain and body systems that contribute to mental health conditions.

Dr. Chandra is especially committed to helping individuals who have not found answers or meaningful improvement through conventional treatments.  In her clinical work, writing, and teaching, she brings together emerging neuroscience-based therapies, trauma-informed care, nutritional approaches, and systems-level biology to advance thinking in psychiatry and help more patients find clearer paths forward.
