Welcome to BrainWise Psychotherapy

Providing accessible, high-quality, evidence-based psychotherapy, neuropsychological evaluations, and psychiatric medication management — all within one integrated practice.

Our approach

With expertise in psychotherapy, psychiatry, and neuropsychological assessment, our multidisciplinary team delivers personalized and comprehensive mental health care. By integrating neuroscientific insights with evidence-based psychotherapy, medication management, and cognitive testing, we support people facing a wide range of challenges—including anxiety, aging, caregiver stress, chronic health conditions, depression, trauma, and more.

We are committed to offering a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for everyone. We proudly welcome individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, cultural backgrounds, and people across the neurodiversity spectrum.
