Dr. Mary Kerwin

I’m a board-certified psychiatrist who works with adolescents through older adults, and I bring both medical and therapeutic training into my work. In addition to psychiatry, I’ve completed advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which allows me to look beyond symptoms and explore the deeper emotional patterns shaping your experience.

I specialize in mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, and women’s mental health, including the unique challenges that come with life transitions. Whether you’re navigating longstanding patterns or a more recent shift, I aim to create a space that feels warm, affirming, and grounded in real understanding.

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to you. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with evidence-based treatments like CBT and interpersonal approaches, along with medication management when appropriate.

I’m especially attuned to how past experiences, trauma, and identity-related factors (including gender and life stage) influence mental health. Together, we’ll explore not just symptom relief, but also insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful, long-term change.

Whether we’re working through trauma, stabilizing mood symptoms, or navigating ADHD or life transitions, the goal is to create a treatment plan that feels both practical and deeply personalized.

In our first session, you can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where we focus on understanding your story and what’s bringing you in. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to get a full picture—your symptoms, history, and current stressors—while also getting a sense of your goals. From there, we’ll begin identifying priorities and mapping out a plan that may include therapy, medication, or both. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, emotionally safe, and with a clearer sense of direction and next steps.
