About Dr. Stier
Psychiatry that sees the whole person.
I became a psychiatrist because I believe that the right guide, someone who truly listens and knows how to help, can change everything. My practice is built around that belief.

My Story
Why I chose this work.
My training gave me the opportunity to watch psychiatry practiced at its best, care that was unhurried, deeply attentive, and genuinely transformative. It left a lasting impression on me, and it shaped everything about how I practice.
So much of psychiatry today is fragmented: rushed appointments, therapy and medication split between different providers, patients who feel like a diagnosis rather than a person. I built my practice to be something different, where the best of both worlds come together, and where care is truly personalized and genuinely unhurried.
My Approach
Three things that guide every appointment.
Listening before prescribing
Every appointment begins with a real conversation, not a symptom checklist. I want to understand your life, not just your diagnosis.
Unhurried, intentional care
My practice is intentionally small. Longer appointments, direct communication, and no sense that the clock is running.
Therapy and medication together
You should not need two separate providers. I offer both psychotherapy and medication management, integrated in one place.

Beyond the Office
What shapes how I think about wellbeing.
I believe that mental health does not exist in isolation from the rest of your life, and my own life reflects that. Outside of my practice, I am deeply committed to physical wellness. I have found that movement, sleep, and how we treat our bodies have a profound impact on how we feel mentally, and that conviction shapes how I approach care with every patient.
When we work together, I will often ask about your physical health, your sleep, your energy, not because I am checking boxes, but because I genuinely believe these things are interconnected. Healing rarely comes from medication alone.
I want every patient to leave feeling not just heard, but genuinely optimistic about what is possible.
Movement
Daily exercise as a foundation for mental clarity
Quality sleep
Rest as an essential pillar of emotional health
Nutrition
Food and nourishment as medicine for the mind
