Dr. Patricia Celan approaches psychiatry through a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming lens. As a scholar dedicated to offering evidence-based care, she grounds her approach in the latest research while tailoring treatment to the unique needs of each individual. Dr. Celan recognizes the complexity of psychiatric diagnoses, particularly when overlapping symptoms contribute to years of misdiagnosis and frustration. She brings a spirit of humility and lived experience to these challenges, emphasizing curiosity, open-minded collaboration, and a compassionate pursuit of clarity and healing.

Her clinical philosophy centers on psychotherapy as the foundation of care, alongside support for optimizing physical health. When indicated, psychiatric medication or neurostimulation may be integrated as adjunctive tools, always with the goal of supporting meaningful progress. As a reflective professional, Dr. Celan ensures that each clinical decision is rooted in a strong sense of ethics, particularly her respect for patient autonomy. She emphasizes transparent and honest communication to foster an environment where patients and colleagues alike feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Looking ahead, Dr. Celan intends to lead a psychotherapy-focused clinic with an emphasis on trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders across both neurotypical and neurodivergent populations. The clinic will serve medical trainees and the broader public, combining structured therapeutic interventions with innovative, holistic supports such as group acroyoga and pet therapy — all within a framework of compassionate, personalized care.
