Dr. Christina Jurgielewicz

I am an adult psychiatrist who started my practice in order to have more time with my patients. I want to spend the time hearing your story so I can best help you get diagnostic clarity, the right medications and a strong plan to get you feeling better.

I will go in depth into your history, we will talk about nutrition, sleep, therapeutic skills. Psychiatry is more than just prescribing a pill, I want to help you in all facets of life so that the work we do together leads to long term improvements. I have a special interest in insomnia, anxiety, women’s mental health, adhd and depression.

I was born and raised in New Orleans and earned my medical degree from LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans before completing my adult psychiatry residency at the University of Southern California, where I served as Chief Resident. I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Nutritional Psychiatry.

Understanding your story takes time, I want to go in depth with you about your life, your current symptoms, your goals. I want to work with you to come up with a plan that makes sense and has long term benefits. I incorporate expert psychopharmacology, therapy, and holistic techniques into our visits to make sure are optimizing everything we can and not just prescribing a pill and calling it a day. With me get ready for a deep dive.

I will send you an in depth in take packet so that our first session can focus on you telling me your story so I can understand you and your symptoms at a deeper level. I hope to never make you feel rushed, and I won’t prescribe you a medication until I feel we’ve got clarity on what’s going on. I will also encourage you to talk to me about your daily habits so we can optimize your nutrition, sleep, and movement. I will encourage you to explore therapy or work on therapeutic skills together with you in session.
