Welcome to Nourishing Minds Psychiatry – the integrative telehealth practice of Dr Ana Musarevski
Hi, I’m Dr Ana Musarevski
I am a psychiatrist who is passionate about helping people who are struggling with mental health conditions such as anxiety, adult ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD and PTSD to live more peaceful and happier lives by using a combination of traditional psychiatric treatments alongside holistic strategies such as functional testing, nutritional supplementation, herbal and plant-based medicine, psychological methods, and optimising healthy lifestyle habits.
About me
I believe in the practice of integrating Western medicine with Eastern wisdom to holistically assess and treat mental health conditions so that people can live more fulfilling lives.
Based in Sydney, Australia, I am a psychiatrist who graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Medical Science and a Bachelor of Medicine, and I am a Fellow of the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP).
My clinical experience spans both public and private hospitals and private practice. I have a special interest in understanding the interconnectedness of the mind, brain, and body, and exploring how metabolic health and nutritional interventions can play a role in mental health treatment.
Furthermore, I am captivated by the emerging field where scientific enquiry intersects with spirituality, appreciating how this may profoundly influence and enhance our understanding and approach to holistic mental health care.
Coming from a first-generation Australian family with Macedonian heritage, I also recognise the importance of community and cultural integration in psychiatry. I am aware of how cultural factors can influence mental health perceptions and am committed to respectfully addressing these aspects in my practice to support a more informed and empowered recovery journey for people facing mental health challenges.
Treatment Modalities
I offer an integrative and empathetic approach to the assessment and treatment of adults aged 18 to 60 years with mental health conditions such as anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, and PTSD. This is done using a virtual telehealth platform, where consultations are conducted via videoconference.
My telepsychiatry interventions combine conventional psychiatric treatment approaches with complementary medicine strategies. These approaches may encompass medication management and functional assessments if clinically indicated based on your symptoms and goals, including comprehensive nutritional testing, advanced stress hormone evaluation, gut microbiome, and pharmacogenomic analysis, along with recommendations for nutritional supplementation and herbal and plant-based remedies.
Additionally, they may include psychological strategies derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eastern Philosophy-Based Psychology. These interventions also incorporate mind-body practices and holistic lifestyle guidance covering important factors like sleep, nutrition, and exercise.
