Lila Massoumi, MD, ABOIM
Psychiatrist & Medical Director

Dr. Massoumi was inspired to become a psychiatrist at age 18 while reading "The Road Less Travelled" by M Scott Peck, MD.  She is drawn to the field of mental health to humbly assist others on their path towards greater self-awareness, self-actualization, and spiritual evolution.  

In addition to her commitment to patients, Dr. Massoumi's mission is to change the way Psychiatry is practiced in the United States.  She is the author of several textbook chapters, including the first ever chapter on Integrative Psychiatry for the American Psychiatric Association (APA) textbook of General Psychiatry.  As chair of the APA Caucus on Integrative Psychiatry, she advocates for the use of herbs and supplements, and for the implementation of findings from research institutions that the soul survives the body's passing.
