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 approaches to mental health, which use a wider lens to better understand the complexity of the brain and its connection to the body..  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 who looks beyond conventional psychiatric diagnoses to understand how biological systems, life experiences, and social context shape mental health. She is especially committed to helping patients who haven't found answers or meaningful improvement through standard treatments.

Dr. Chandra integrates emerging neuroscience-based therapies, trauma-informed care, nutritional psychiatry, and systems biology in her clinical practice, writing, and teaching. Through this work, she aims to advance how psychiatry understands and treats mental health while helping patients discover more effective paths to recovery.
