"Psychiatric symptoms, metabolic health, sleep, and physical wellbeing rarely live in separate rooms — yet conventional healthcare treats them that way. I built this practice to change that."

The Mind-Body Connection

Mood, metabolism, sleep, and weight are not separate systems. How you feel mentally affects how your body functions — and vice versa.

One Provider, Complete Picture

When psychiatric and metabolic care are managed together, nothing falls through the cracks. No referrals. No missed interactions. No gaps.

Your Care, Your Choice

Each service is available independently. Integration is available when it is right for you — never required, always possible.

What We Offer

Three Services. One Provider.

Choose one service, or combine any of the three — psychiatric care, GLP-1 metabolic health, and hormone therapy are each available entirely on their own. However you combine them, you receive the same holistic, whole-person care from a dual board-certified provider focused on your overall wellness.

A Note to My Existing Patients

If you are a current psychiatric patient transitioning with me to Dixon Mind & Body Health — your care will not be disrupted. Same provider, same relationship, same clinical approach.

What changes: a new practice name, and a more streamlined, efficient experience through updated systems. What does not change: your medications, your treatment plan, your appointments, and the care you have come to expect.

You are not required to participate in the GLP-1 program. Your psychiatric care continues exactly as it has — now under a practice built specifically around integrated, whole-person care.

The Mind-Body Connection

Why Integration Matters

Most providers treat these in separate silos. I treat psychiatric health, metabolic health, and hormone health together — because the connections between them are not incidental. They are foundational. Integration is available whenever you want it — but never required.

  • Psychiatric medications affect metabolism

    Many psychiatric medications affect weight, appetite, and metabolic function. Having one provider manage both means these effects are monitored, anticipated, and addressed — not discovered later.

  • Metabolic health affects psychiatric outcomes

    Untreated depression, anxiety, and ADHD are leading drivers of GLP-1 dropout. Patients who receive integrated psychiatric care alongside GLP-1 therapy have dramatically better outcomes.

  • GLP-1 medications affect mood and cognition

    GLP-1 receptor agonists have neurological effects — on appetite regulation, mood, anxiety, and motivation. A psychiatric nurse practitioner is uniquely positioned to monitor and respond to these effects.

  • Hormone shifts affect mood, weight, and metabolism

    Perimenopause and menopause bring hormonal changes that touch mood, sleep, weight, and psychiatric symptoms all at once. Having one provider manage hormone therapy alongside psychiatric and metabolic care means nothing is treated in isolation.

  • No referrals. No handoffs. No gaps.

    When all three domains are managed by one provider who carries your full story into every visit, nothing falls through the cracks. That is the Dixon Mind & Body Health difference.

GLP-1 Program

Metabolic Care Done Right

Brand-name GLP-1 therapy managed by a clinician who sees the psychiatric and behavioral dimensions of your metabolic health — not just the number on the scale.

Medications like Wegovy, Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Zepbound are powerful tools. They work best when managed within the full context of your mental health, eating behaviors, and life. That is the care you get here.

Join the GLP-1 Program

Brand-Name Medications Only

FDA-approved Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, and Mounjaro — not compounded alternatives. Quality, consistency, and safety you can count on.

Prior Auth & Copay Assistance

Prior authorization requests and manufacturer copay card enrollment are included. We advocate for your medication access so you are not navigating insurance alone.

Psychiatric Screening Every Visit

Mood, anxiety, ADHD, and eating behaviors are screened at every visit — because these factors directly affect how well GLP-1 therapy works for you.

Labs Through Insurance

Required monitoring labs are billed through your insurance whenever possible. We communicate any anticipated out-of-pocket costs before ordering.

$249/Month Program Fee

All clinical services included — visits, monitoring, lab ordering, prior auth support, and copay card assistance. Medication is filled at a pharmacy of your choice — most patients use insurance to cover the cost; if a medication is not covered, it can be purchased directly. Clinical visits are private pay.

✦ Limited to 15 Founding Patients

Only 15 founding patient spots exist, ever. Secure yours at $199/month for life before they're gone.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone Care, Fully Seen

FDA-approved hormone replacement therapy managed by a clinician who understands how perimenopause and menopause affect mood, sleep, weight, and psychiatric symptoms — not just hot flashes.

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone therapy are powerful tools for symptom relief and long-term health. They work best when managed within the full context of your mental health, metabolic health, and life. That is the care you get here.

Join the HRT Waitlist

FDA-Approved Formulations Only

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone therapy — evidence-based, regulated formulations. No compounded alternatives.

Prior Auth & Copay Assistance

Prior authorization requests and manufacturer copay card enrollment are included. We advocate for your medication access so you are not navigating insurance alone.

Psychiatric Screening Every Visit

Mood, anxiety, sleep, and cognitive symptoms are screened at every visit — because hormone shifts affect all of these, and treatment works best when they are tracked together.

Labs Through Insurance

Required monitoring labs are billed through your insurance whenever possible. We communicate any anticipated out-of-pocket costs before ordering.

$500 Initial Evaluation · $250/Month Ongoing Care

Comprehensive hormone evaluation, lab work, and a personalized treatment plan included in the initial visit; ongoing monitoring and dose optimization included in the monthly fee. Medication is filled at a pharmacy of your choice — most patients use insurance to cover the cost; if a medication is not covered, it can be purchased directly. Clinical visits are private pay.

About the Practice

A dual-certified clinician
for the whole person.

Dual Board Certification

I am one of a small number of providers in Massachusetts holding dual board certification as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and an Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP-BC). Whether you come to me for psychiatric care, metabolic health, hormone therapy, or any combination, you are getting the same holistic, whole-person approach — by one clinician, in one relationship, with one complete picture of your health.

My path to this practice started with a B.S. in Psychology from UMass Amherst — a foundation that shaped how I think about behavior, motivation, and the mind-body relationship long before my clinical training began.

I went on to complete my ANP training at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and my PMHNP training at Vanderbilt University, earning dual board certification in both adult primary care and lifespan psychiatric mental health.

I built Dixon Mind & Body Health because I kept seeing the same thing: patients whose weight struggles were deeply connected to untreated depression, ADHD, or anxiety — and no one treating both together. The result is a practice where your medication plan, therapeutic work when appropriate, and metabolic care are designed to support each other. Most care is delivered via telehealth, with limited in-person availability at our Andover, MA office.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Transparent answers to help you decide if Dixon Mind & Body Health is the right fit for you.

Not at all. Psychiatric care, GLP-1 metabolic health, and hormone replacement therapy are each available entirely on their own. Psychiatric care is billed through your insurance and has no connection to the other services. GLP-1 and HRT are separate private pay programs — no psychiatric diagnosis or enrollment in another service is ever required. Many patients choose to combine services, but that is entirely your decision, and every patient receives the same holistic standard of care either way.
Yes, and many patients do. If you're managing psychiatric medications, GLP-1 therapy, and/or hormone replacement together, having one dual board-certified provider oversee all of it means nothing falls through the cracks — medication interactions, side effects, and overlapping symptoms are considered together rather than in isolation. Combining services is always optional, never required.
Very little that affects your care. You will have a new practice name, a new patient portal, and a new secure messaging platform. Your provider, medications, treatment plan, and appointment schedule remain exactly the same. You will receive formal communication with all the details before anything changes.
For psychiatric services, we are currently in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Harvard Pilgrim, and Mass General Brigham (MGB). We do not currently accept Medicare or MassHealth. If you are unsure about your specific plan, email us at intake@dixonmindbodyhealth.com before scheduling.
Your $249/month program fee covers all clinical services: initial evaluation, monthly follow-up visits, dose titration, psychiatric screening, lab ordering, prior authorization assistance, and manufacturer copay card enrollment support. Medication is filled at a pharmacy of your choice — most patients use insurance to cover the medication cost; if it is not covered, it can be purchased directly. Clinical visits are private pay. We help you navigate manufacturer savings programs to reduce your out-of-pocket medication cost as much as possible.
The FDA has resolved GLP-1 medication shortages and is actively restricting compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide. Brand-name medications are manufactured under strict FDA quality control, have extensive clinical data, and carry no regulatory risk. We prescribe Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, and Mounjaro — and we assist every patient in accessing manufacturer savings programs to make medication as affordable as possible.
Labs are ordered through your insurance whenever possible. Out-of-pocket lab costs apply only if you are uninsured or specific extenuating circumstances exist. We always communicate any anticipated costs before ordering.
Most care is delivered via HIPAA-compliant telehealth, making it accessible throughout Massachusetts. Limited in-person appointments are available at our Andover, MA office. Please let us know your preference when you reach out.
I provide evaluation and medication management for depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, mood disorders, and related conditions. I do not currently treat acute psychosis, active substance use disorders, or eating disorders requiring significant interdisciplinary care. If you are unsure whether your needs are within our scope, please reach out — I am happy to discuss before you schedule.
Only 15 founding patient spots exist, ever. Those who claim one lock in $199/month for life, regardless of what the standard rate becomes as the practice grows. Once all 15 are filled, this rate will not reopen.
The HRT program is priced at $500 for the initial evaluation — which includes a comprehensive hormone and health history review, lab work, and a personalized treatment plan — followed by $250/month for ongoing care, monitoring, and dose optimization. Medication is filled at your pharmacy of choice — most patients use insurance to cover the cost; if a medication is not covered, it can be purchased directly. HRT is currently accepting waitlist inquiries ahead of launch.
When you see separate providers for psychiatric and metabolic care, each one only has part of your story. Medication decisions made in one context can have unintended effects in the other — and those effects often go unnoticed. When one dual board-certified provider manages both, every decision is made with full awareness of your complete health picture. No referrals, no handoffs, no gaps.
