Welcome to Nourishing Minds Psychiatry – the integrative telehealth practice of Dr Ana Musarevski
Hi, I’m Dr Ana Musarevski
I am a psychiatrist passionate about helping individuals with mental health challenges such as anxiety, adult ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, and PTSD achieve more peaceful and fulfilling lives. I blend traditional psychiatric treatments, including medication management when needed, with holistic approaches, including functional testing (such as nutrient levels, genetic analysis, advanced hormonal and stress profiles, and gut microbiome testing), along with supplementation, herbal and plant-based medicine, psychological strategies, and lifestyle optimisation.
About me
I believe in integrating Western medicine with Eastern wisdom to holistically assess and treat mental health conditions, enabling people to 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 public and private hospitals and private practice. I have a special interest in understanding the interconnectedness of the mind, brain, and body and in the ongoing exploration of how genetics and environment play a role in mental health treatment to optimise mental health outcomes.
Furthermore, I am captivated by the emerging field where science 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. When clinically indicated, these may include medication management, comprehensive nutrient level testing, genetic testing, advanced hormonal and stress profile evaluations, advanced gut microbiome mapping, and recommendations for nutritional supplementation, nutraceuticals, and herbal or plant-based remedies.
Additionally, they may include psychological strategies derived from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which involves 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.
