My practice is grounded in the belief that you are more than a diagnosis.
Psychiatric symptoms do not arise in isolation, and healing rarely comes from symptom management alone. My work begins with aiming to understand you as a whole person: your story, your biology, your relationships, your lifestyle, your history, and the broader context in which you live.
Many of my patients come to my practice rethinking conventional psychiatric treatment. Some are re-evaluating long-term medication use or considering tapering. Others are seeking a psychiatrist who can integrate psychiatry with psychotherapy, functional medicine, nutrition, metabolic health, or psychedelic-informed care. Most want psychiatric treatment that feels more personal, nuanced, and aligned with the complexity of who they are.
My goal is to help you feel more like yourself and to support your capacity to create, relate, feel, and function at your highest capacity.
“Consciousness, perception, sensation, pleasure, and intention have often been omitted from the world described by reductionists. If we are going to understand life and its possibilities, then it seems that we should begin with an appreciation of its “liveliest” aspects, as an essential dimension of our thinking.”
- Raymond Peat, PhD, Generative Energy: Restoring the Wholeness of Life (1994)

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.”
