About
Dr. Cynthia Churchill believes that excellent care is built on respect and trust. She recognizes that every individual’s life journey is unique – shaped by genetics, physiology, experiences, relationships, and values. Dr. Churchill collaborates with her patients to determine the most effective role for medications among the many treatment options available, ensuring a personalized and holistic approach to mental health care. She has extensive expertise in psychopharmacology, particularly in treating individuals with medical illnesses and those who have experienced psychological trauma, including first responders. Dr. Churchill’s passion for psychiatry was sparked unexpectedly during an acupressure class, where a conversation about mind-body connections led to a realization: “What I would really like is to be a psychiatrist!” This set her on a path toward a career dedicated to understanding and treating the intricate relationship between the mind and body.
