Welcome to Melanie de Luna, MD Psychiatry

I offer a personalized approach in my practice, taking into account the many factors that influence one's sense of well-being.  

I believe that a holistic model which combines several modalities of treatment is the most effective.  I will partner with you to explore which treatments you feel will be the most beneficial for you. 

Therapeutic modalities which I have found to be particularly helpful include Psychodynamic Psychotherapy,  and Mindfulness Based Therapy.  I strive to help you understand your self and your relationships on a deeper level and to help identify unconscious thoughts and feelings which influence your daily life.

Medications and supplements can also be very helpful.  I have extensive experience in psychopharmacology.  We will review all the options thoroughly, discuss the risks and benefits, explore alternative therapies and arrive at a plan that feels right for you.

Lifestyle factors are also important and I integrate a consideration of those as well, including diet, exercise, time in nature, activities which bring joy, close relationships and community.
