Dr. Samaiya Mushtaq

As a board-certified psychiatrist, my philosophy is that mental wellness is foundational for overall health and is not confined to the psychiatrist's clinic (or couch!). In medicine, a "psych consult" is called when medical and surgical teams need a psychiatrist to come on board, managing the mental health aspects of care and acting as a liaison between teams.

​

While a consultant at a top-tier strategy firm, my work was not dissimilar, tasked with diagnosing and treating a business problem afflicting a client. Bringing psychological-mindedness into my role, I saw both how high-intensity workplaces can impact the mental health of professionals through chronic stress and burnout, and how organizations function best with self-aware individuals, emotionally intelligent teaming, and a mentally healthy culture.
