About Us

Seth A. Eappen, MD

Board Certified Adult, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist

Founder & Executive Director

“I am asked to lift patients from ‘rock bottom’ to their best selves, and my only tools are my words and a prescription pad. Practicing psychiatry is the most rewarding, fascinating and intellectually stimulating pursuit in existence.”

Ryan R. Byrne, MD

Board Certified Adult, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist

“Patients will often ask me during visits if a specific detail is relevant or necessary because it may not be related to their medication. My reply is that the goal of psychiatric treatment is broader than simply the choice of medication. As a psychiatrist, my guiding principle is to approach diagnosis and treatment from a patient centered approach. This begins with learning from patients what their goals are and collaboratively establishing treatment plans. It is essential to know patients as individuals and to address both biologic and social factors in treatment.  In addition, I attempt to view mental health concerns through a developmental lens, an approach strengthened by my training in child and adolescent psychiatry.”

Georgia L. Ketchum, MD

Board Certified Adult Psychiatrist

“I approach mental health care with unwavering dedication, prioritizing clear communication and personalized understanding. My commitment extends beyond diagnoses and treatments; it’s about creating a space where individuals feel heard, empowered, and strengthened in their pursuit of mental well-being.”

Kristen Stromski, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC

Advanced Practice Nurse

“I know that many people feel stigmatized while getting help and I like to remind my clients that they can be whatever they want to be or go wherever they want to go in life, regardless of whether they have a mental illness or not. I hope people know that getting the help that they need is not shameful, it is brave and courageous!”

Carly Koranda, DNP, APN, CPNP-PC, PMHS

Pediatric Primary Care Mental Health Specialist

“I have always had a strong desire to work with children and adolescents from a young age. While working as a primary care pediatric nurse practitioner, it became clear to me that there was a need to serve children, adolescents, and their families who have slipped through the mental and behavioral health care cracks. Simply put, I want to help transform children, adolescents, and their families who struggle with mental and behavioral health issues from invisible to distinguishable, thriving individuals.”
