The Approach

Care that sees the person in full.

Dr. Watts' approach rests on a broad scientific foundation and rigorous clinical training. She trained in general adult psychiatry at New York University and Bellevue Hospital — among America's oldest, most demanding, and most respected psychiatry residencies — and completed subspecialty fellowships in reproductive and public psychiatry. She remains on faculty at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, teaching the next generation of psychiatrists. Held with a physician's rigor and real humility, this shapes how she sees people: as complex, social, biological beings, best understood as a whole.

She sees mental health as longitudinal and multifactorial — the product of biology, relationships, environment, and time. Whether caring for an individual or reading an organization, the work is the same: to understand the whole system, follow it over time, and tend to the conditions in which a person, a family, or a team can genuinely thrive.
