Who we are
Black Dog Psychiatry is where rigorous clinical thinking meets real-world psychiatry. Founded and led by a clinician and scientist with years of clinical and academic experience, we believe that psychiatry should be as precise as it is personal.
We work with adults navigating life’s complexities—seeking not just symptom relief, but deeper clarity and lasting change. For adults tired of being misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or told to "just breathe”.
In addition to general psychiatric care, we specialize in supporting individuals involved in fertility treatment. Whether you’re undergoing IVF, donating eggs, serving as a gestational carrier, or preparing for parenthood as an intended parent, we provide nuanced, compassionate care at every stage. Our services include emotional support, medication management, and psychiatric evaluations for prospective donors—all in close collaboration with IVF centers.
No fluff. No shortcuts. Just meaningful work, done well.
