Dr. Kathleen Seaton

As a Stanford-trained psychiatrist, I work closely with Dr. Sethi at Metabolic Psychiatry Labs (MPL) to manage serious mental illness conditions including bipolar, depression, binge eating disorder, and psychosis. I believe in treating the root cause of mental illness. I am trained in multiple types of psychotherapy, including CBT, psychodynamic, DBT, ACT, and Internal Family Systems, and I apply these skill in our medical/medication management visits. I provide supportive therapy around your metabolic and psychiatric conditions using different therapeutic approaches, however I am not able to offer weekly therapy in my role at MPL.

At MPL, I provide personalized mental health care grounded in the connection between brain health and metabolic health. My approach goes beyond symptom management to better understand underlying contributors such as insulin resistance, inflammation, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle factors that can influence mood, anxiety, cognition, and energy. Treatment may include medication management, along with individual metabolic and lifestyle changes, as well as standard psychiatric care.

Clients can expect their first session with me to be a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation conducted via telehealth. Together, we will focus on understanding your current concerns, psychiatric history, prior treatments, medications, and medical history.
