“The psychiatrist must become a fellow traveler with the patient” -R. D. Laing. My name is Fauzia Wali-Khan and I am first and foremost a firm believer of this phrase. I became a psychiatrist with the intention of helping everyone, as it is my belief that everyone deserves a healthy mental state in which they can prosper and help others around them. My capability to lend an honest ear to my patient’s problems and help guide them through the solution is a quality that makes me an incredibly valuable resource for my patients.

Along with these therapeutic techniques, suboxone,
weight loss
through medication, supplement use, and food consumption recommendations can be an aspect of treatment.
Hi! I am a medication and/or therapy provider. I use a very client-centered approach in therapy and utilize CBT and narrative therapy frequently. I have a strong belief that the mind and body are highly integrated and that physical and mental treatment are inseparable. For this reason, clients have the option of participating in a new model of treatment. This would include exercising during therapy sessions - brisk or slow walking on treadmills or Stairmaster at the client's comfort level. Of course, regular counseling therapy and/or medication prescriptions are provided for those not interested in combining exercise.

I am a dual Board Certified Nurse Practitioner (psychiatry mental health and family medicine). I am happy to welcome new patients via telehealth during the covid crisis. I find of most importance in care is building and fostering a provider/patient relationship. I have been a nurse since 2008 working primarily at MGH and as an NP since 2016 at the VA as well as a private eating disorder facility in Boston, The Renfrew Center. I have notable experience working with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, psychotic and personality disorders. Note, I will see pediatric patients on a case by case basis.

My clinical experience using genetic testing to inform my prescribing decisions is what sets me apart from most other prescribers in Massachusetts. Medications are metabolized VERY differently from one person to another. Your individual genes matter! If you have tried and failed several meds, I may be the provider for you! I welcome new patients who seek change and are ready to collaborate! While I routinely prescribe medications to treat anxiety, depression and other conditions, I precisely tailor your treatment based on your unique genetic metabolism, avoiding endless medication trials and getting you relief and results fast!
