Welcome! I am Dr. Melvina Bissonette, a Board Certified Psychiatrist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals 16 to 65 years of age. I have a focus on reproductive psychiatry and women’s mental health. I treat mental health challenges related to peri/menopause, ante/peri/post-partum, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, chronic stress related to life, school, work, etc. I aim to offer holistic mental health care, taking into consideration the challenges of your complex professional and personal life.
Depression, anxiety, panic attacks… I’ve been there, I know what it feels like. I know what it feels like to struggle to find the right kind of support that is available, confidential, and holistic. Work with me and know you will be working with a doctor who gets it and will never make you feel alone or unheard.
By using a membership model with a flat monthly fee, there is no need for copays or deductibles. Without billing or using insurance, I can focus solely on providing you truly unrushed, personalized, direct care.
A better way to experience psychiatry
Hózhó Psychiatry & Wellness was created for people who want more than short appointments and insurance-driven care. The practice is built around direct psychiatric care, which means more time, easier access, and treatment that is tailored to your real life rather than limited by billing rules.
We look at the full picture: symptoms, medical history, stress, hormones, lifestyle patterns, previous treatment, and personal goals. That whole-person view helps create care plans that feel practical, supportive, and sustainable.
Who we help
The practice works with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, psychosis, chronic stress, and life transitions. There is also a strong focus on women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry, including peri-menopause, antepartum, postpartum, and other hormonally influenced mental health concerns.
