Lea Brainerd, PA-C, CAQ-Psychiatry, is a board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in integrative psychiatry, functional medicine, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. She has been practicing since 2021 and holds a Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Psychiatry. Lea is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine and the American Academy of Physician Associates. She offers care in English. She is able to treat symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, fatigue, brain fog, mood instability, trauma-related stress, and chronic illness, including hormonal, digestive, autoimmune, and neuroinflammatory conditions. Lea was drawn to medicine by a deep passion for understanding the human brain, body, and soul as an interconnected system. She believes that true healing happens when we treat root causes—not just symptoms—and when we create space for patients to feel empowered, seen, and supported in their journey. Her care style blends the science of modern medicine with the wisdom of functional, holistic, and mind-body approaches. Clients often describe her as intuitive, collaborative, and deeply compassionate. Whether supporting someone through mental health challenges, dialing in on root causes of chronic conditions, or guiding them through ketamine-assisted therapy, she meets patients where they are with curiosity, creativity, and care.
