Psychiatry elevated: modern medicine blends with ancient wisdom to promote total healing.

I’m Kelsey Martell, DO (she/her), a Washington based private practice psychiatrist providing holistic & integrative psychiatry and psychedelic integration.

I help adults who struggle with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, and PTSD/trauma harness the power of their experiences and emotions to restore self-confidence, reconnect with their purpose, pursue fulfilling relationships, and accomplish their personal and professional goals with joy.

I also have a special interest in working with healthcare professionals to heal from work related trauma and find fulfillment in their career again.

Are you struggling with:

Paralyzing worry or fear that’s keeping you stuck?
Loss of motivation or interest in the things that used to bring you joy?
A mind that frequently ‘changes channels’, and you don’t have the remote?
Past trauma that continues to influence your life in frustrating or frightening ways?
Irritability? Quick to anger? Keeping loved ones at arm’s length?

I get it. I’m here to help.

Do you have ADHD (or think you might) and struggle with:

Difficulty bringing your ideas to fruition?
Inattention making it difficult to shine in meetings?
Falling behind on emails or forgetting to respond to messages?
Embarrassment in social or professional settings because you aren’t following the conversation or speak impulsively?
Frequent lateness? Maybe because you lost your phone again?

I can help you identify, appreciate, and utilize the strengths of your neurodivergence to meet goals on your timeline.

Are you a trauma survivor struggling with:

Intense discomfort letting your guard down, even with those you love?
Feelings of guilt around your successes?
Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries?
Second guessing your judgement/intuition?
Always worrying that the next crisis is just around the corner?

I can help you to increase your comfort level with vulnerability, maintain deeper relationships, identify healthy boundaries, and focus energy into relationships that give back to you.

Are you a physician, nurse, or other healthcare worker struggling with:

Feeling emotionally disconnected from your patients and your work?
Exhaustion after work leaving you unable to fully engage in relationships, hobbies, spiritual practices, or other responsibilities?
Trouble sleeping or feelings of dread prior to starting a stretch of work?
Guilt or loss of confidence?
Thoughts that you are inadequate and everyone is going to find out?

I can confidentially and discreetly help you develop a work-life balance that is sustainable, regain confidence, and establish a sense of purpose, interest, and joy in your work. Together, we can work to reframe your imposter syndrome, or work related trauma so that you can get back to sharing your valuable skillset in a way you find fulfilling.

Hello! I’m Dr. Kelsey Martell.

I’m an integrative psychiatrist and psychotherapist who believes in the innate healing power of the mind, body, and spirit.

I believe that you are whole. Deep within you exists all you need to heal and grow. It’s my role, my mission, to help guide you back to that space.

Before becoming a physician, I had a career as a registered nurse. It was in this role that I first recognized that traditional Western medicine is excellent at treating symptoms and diseases, but falls seriously short when it comes to optimizing wellness. My journey from registered nurse to integrative psychiatrist was inspired by a desire to understand the complexities of the human experience beyond the conventional medical model.

As a trauma survivor, and someone living with ADHD, I know that a “one size fits all” approach to psychiatry doesn’t work for everyone. I’ve spent my life learning how to thrive in the face of adversity, and it truly brings me joy to spend my career teaching others how to do the same.

If you’re in search of a trusted guide to your mental health who:

Is open minded
Listens to you
Communicates directly
Focuses on addressing the root cause of the problem
Considers medication AN option, but not the ONLY option

…then you’re in the right place!

I believe in psychiatry without judgement.

There are no bad parts within you, only parts that developed to serve specific needs.

Together, we can work to acknowledge and accept the whole you, rather than silencing, suppressing, or avoiding the uncomfortable bits.

Areas of Focus

I treat a broad spectrum of diagnoses and problems, and specialize in treating adults suffering from ADHD, PTSD/trauma related illness, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. In addition to the treatment of psychiatric conditions, I also offer gender-affirming surgery evaluations.
