Meet Elana Miller, MD

Hey! I’m Elana Miller, MD, an integrative psychiatrist with a private practice in Los Angeles and a career mentor to over 230+ psychiatric providers.

I believe that the medical industrial complex is squeezing psychiatrists and not serving patients. The practice of modern Western psychiatry is overly medication-obsessed and doesn’t appreciate the complexities of the mind and brain and of treating mental illness.

I empower mental health clinicians to break free from soul-sucking corporate medicine and build integrative psychiatry private practices that bring autonomy, financial abundance, and deep fulfillment in their work.

I believe that every psychiatrist, psych NP, and mental health prescriber has the potential to create a practice that reflects their true calling and provides transformative care.

No matter where you are in your psychiatry career journey, it’s never too late to start. 

Practice psychiatry with complete autonomy ✨

Imagine breaking free from the constraints of rushed sessions, superficial patient interactions, and constant pressure from insurance companies to offer.

Enjoy fulfillment in your career ✨

Picture yourself in a fulfilling role, running a practice centered around your vision of patient care, where you can dedicate time and in-depth attention to each individual.

Make more while working less ✨

Imagine having a practice that lets you spend more time doing the things you love, while making more money than you ever have.

No matter where you are in your psychiatric career, it’s never too late (or too early) to continue learning.

How to choose a niche for your psychiatry private practice in 2024

Are you a psychiatrist or psych NP dreaming of starting your own private practice? You're in the right place! In today's video, we interview an inspiring member of Dream Practice Academy who has turned that dream into reality by launching an integrative psychiatry practice with a focus in treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, as well as hormone-related issues in women. Today's video is an interview with Kate Van Fossen, a marketing and business coach at Dream Practice Academy, and Dr. Tamara McDonald, a PMHNP in my mentorship program who recently opened her own mental wellness-focused private practice in Boise, Idaho. In this interview, Dr. McDonald speaks about her transition from family practice into psychiatry after discovering her true passion for mental health. She shares the experiences that led her to realize that mental wellness is integral to overall health, and why she felt a strong calling to help individuals achieve mental well-being. Dr. McDonald also shares the journey that led her to discover her passion of women's mental health due to her background as a midwifery apprentice, where she saw firsthand the gaps in the traditional healthcare system surrounding support for women during key life stages like pregnancy and menopause. Dr. McDonald understands the deep connection between hormonal fluctuations and mental health, which are often overlooked in traditional care. This is what drives her to provide integrative, comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and emotional needs of women throughout their lives. If you're struggling with mental health issues and are looking for a provider in the state of Idaho, take the first step towards healing by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation with Dr. McDonald here: https://www.discovermbm.com/ If you're a psychiatrist or PMHNP wanting to build your own integrative psychiatry private practice, you can learn more about my mentorship program here: https://my.zenpsychiatry.com/build-your-dream-practice-youtube-organic
