Dr. Mayumi Pierce is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who believes that thoughtful care begins with depth of understanding. She integrates psychiatric evaluation, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, medication management, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals, recognizing that emotional suffering is shaped by each person's relationships, life experiences, physical health, neurobiology, and sociocultural context. She believes that a successful treatment not only addresses current suffering, but facilitates greater flexibility and honest engagement in one’s life.

She practices psychiatry with careful clinical reasoning, intellectual rigor, and a deep sense of responsibility to her patients. Whether working with someone newly seeking care or someone who has spent years seeking answers, Dr. Pierce values thoughtful diagnosis, nuanced treatment, and a committed therapeutic relationship that aims for lasting change.

In psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, Dr. Pierce helps patients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the forces that shape their inner and outer lives. She works with patients to elaborate both what is known and what remains outside of awareness. The intimacy and depth of the therapeutic relationship allow personal patterns, conflicts, and meanings to emerge. This kind of sustained exploration can provide not only symptom relief, but new possibilities with what has felt stuck, confused, painful, empty, or inevitable.

Dr. Pierce works with adults across a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, women’s and perinatal mental health, ADHD, and autism. She has a particular interest in complex presentations and in understanding each person within the context of their relationships, culture, identities, and lived experience, including the ways experiences of difference, marginalization, and belonging can shape emotional life.
