Psychiatry for your mind, body, and spirit.
Welcome! I’m Kalen Flynn, M.D. I am a holistic and integrative psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
I see patients in person in Silver Lake, Los Angeles and virtually throughout California.
I work with people who are ready to take a new approach to their mental health and connect to their innate capacity for healing. Together, we address the root causes of symptoms, exploring everything from nutrition and inflammation to trauma and alienation.
In-person appointments available in my cozy light-filled bungalow office in Silver Lake.
Virtual appointments available for patients anywhere in California.

About Dr. Flynn:
I am a holistic & integrative psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a special interest in psychedelic medicine who has studied with master healers around the world.
I have trained with the leading physicians in integrative and functional psychiatry, and I have studied with traditional medicine practitioners in China and Peru. My practice has been shaped by my work over the past decade with the psychedelic medicine ayahuasca, specifically with Shipibo healers in the Amazon.
In a patient's words:
“Dr. Flynn was instrumental in my recovery journey. Our paths crossed during the most challenging period of my life, and her dedication and availability was a lifeline to me.
Reflecting on those times, I am genuinely uncertain if I could have overcome the crisis without her guidance. Our discussions, sometimes as frequent as three times a week, were marked by her profound professionalism and empathy. Dr. Flynn's approach was uniquely supportive, carefully avoiding any pressure while employing her empathy and intellect to steer me through my darkest days.
During this period, I struggled with multiple symptoms from severe panic attacks to insomnia, doubting my ability to recover. Yet, Dr. Flynn's comprehensive support, her insightful sharing of information, and her deep understanding of nutrition, therapeutic techniques, and medication allowed me to see a path forward. Beyond immediate relief and hope, she helped me learn strategies that I will carry with me for life.
For anyone seeking support, Dr. Flynn epitomizes a caregiver who truly values the individual. Her exceptional intelligence and sensitivity make her an ideal guide through life's most difficult challenges. I will be thankful for life for your support.”
