Tortoise Mental Health is a solo psychiatry practice offering thoughtful, trauma-informed care for high-achieving adults—especially women and LGBTQ+ individuals—navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, and bipolar disorder.

Rooted in the philosophy of slow medicine, we believe meaningful change takes time, patience, and collaboration. We offer unhurried visits that prioritize connection, shared decision-making, and whole-person wellness. Treatment may include evidence-based medication management, brief supportive therapy, and guidance around sleep, nutrition, supplements, and self-care—always tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Clients at Tortoise Mental Health are often high-functioning but feeling overwhelmed, perfectionistic, or burned out. Many are skeptical about medication but open to exploring it in a thoughtful, informed way. We provide a safe, affirming space to ask questions, explore options, and find a pace that feels sustainable.

Founded and led by a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Tortoise Mental Health is woman-owned, locally operated, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. We believe that mental health care should honor the human experience—not just treat symptoms.

Take your time. We're here when you're ready.
