Dr. Amy Kavanagh, ND believes good healthcare starts with being truly seen. She strives for her practice to be a soft place to land in a confusing, often stressful medical system.
Dr. Kavanagh is passionate about offering evidence-informed, integrative care rooted in both science and compassion. She blends clinical research with genuine curiosity about each patient, offering thoughtful, individualized care rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Dr. Kavanagh has a particular interest in mental health, skin health, hormonal and reproductive health, and digestive concerns, and welcomes patients of all identities, bodies, and backgrounds. She takes the time to understand the full picture before building a treatment plan — one that's guided by lab results, physical exams, and clinical evidence, but also realistic for the life you're actually living. Her plans may draw on nutrition and lifestyle changes, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical prescriptions, acupuncture, herbal medicine, or nutrient injections.
Her clinical focus includes:
- Mental & Emotional Wellness: anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, insomnia, neurodivergence
