Welcome! I am Dr. McCarthy, a dedicated board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist committed to integrating cutting-edge neuroscience into compassionate patient care.

My journey began at Duke University, where I sought to practice the most current, evidence- based treatments across all aspects of psychiatry.

 

I am deeply intrigued by the ongoing advancements in neuropsychiatric research, particularly the dynamic reshaping of our brains in response to life experiences and environments. This understanding reinforces my belief in fostering mental resilience and well-being as foundational to overall health.

In my practice, I have the privilege of guiding families through their individual journeys, helping children build confidence, competence, and healthy identities. I emphasize the significance of attitude and resilience in overcoming life's obstacles, empowering individuals to lead fulfilling, healthy lives. Central to my brain wellness approach is teaching children and families to embrace uncertainty and foster a positive mindset.

Being a part of my patient's lives is a true honor, supporting them through both triumphs and hardships. Together, let's delve into the wonders of neuroscience and empower you to live a fulfilling, healthy life.
