Pediatric & Adult Psychiatry

in Chelmsford, MA

Committed to thoughtful, tailored, collaborative care

Ianna Hondros-McCarthy, DO

As a dual-board certified physician in both adult and child psychiatry, I have extensive training in assessing and treating the whole person when it comes to mental health, including assessing physical health (physical exam, bloodwork, nutrition, sleep, physical activity, etc.) as well as assessing for mental health conditions. Collaborating with your other medical and therapy providers is something I prioritize when appropriate. I offer short term diagnostic evaluations and second opinions, as well as longer term therapy and medication management. I believe that patients have a lot more power than they sometimes give themselves credit for in finding their way back to a healthy mindset, and my goal is to help my patients feel more empowered to design and embark on their own path forward that aligns with their strengths and values.

Mental health conditions I treat in my clinic include:

  • anxiety (in all its forms)

  • OCD

  • depression

  • ADHD

  • neurodevelopmental disorders

  • eating disorders

  • trauma disorders

As a trained therapist as well as a medication prescriber, I have training in a multitude of different therapy modalities that can help me offer expertise on which ones might be a good fit for you to pursue, if interested.  While I can prescribe medications, they are rarely the only type of treatment I would recommend, and are sometimes not needed.
