Dr. Shebani Sethi

If you’re looking for psychiatric care that goes beyond managing symptoms to better understand what may be contributing to how you’re feeling, Metabolic Psychiatry Labs offers a more integrative approach.

At MPL, we work with adults experiencing conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and eating-related concerns, particularly when standard treatments have not fully addressed symptoms. Our care combines a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with attention to metabolic and physiological factors that can influence mood, cognition, and energy.

MPL was founded by Dr. Shebani Sethi, a psychiatrist and obesity medicine physician who helped define the clinical foundations of metabolic psychiatry. Care is delivered via telehealth by a clinician-led team. Dr. Kathleen Seaton, a board-certified psychiatrist, serves as the primary treating physician and works closely with each patient.

Care at Metabolic Psychiatry Labs is personalized and grounded in the connection between brain health and metabolic health. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, we take time to understand potential contributors such as insulin resistance, inflammation, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle factors that may affect mental health.

Treatment is evidence-based and collaborative. Depending on your needs, care may include psychiatric medication management, metabolically informed treatment strategies, and coordination with other providers when helpful.

Your first session is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation conducted via telehealth. We’ll focus on understanding your current concerns, psychiatric history, prior treatments, medications, and relevant medical background.

The goal of this visit is to develop a thoughtful, individualized plan and to determine whether MPL’s approach is a good fit for you. You’ll have space to ask questions and discuss next steps in a clear, supportive environment.
