Getting to know Dr. Iris Bell

Dr. Iris Bell, MD, PhD, is a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to helping individuals understand themselves and the patterns that shape their lives. With a strong foundation in psychobiology, Dr. Bell's approach to mental wellness integrates scientific insight with a compassionate, individualized focus. Her philosophy is rooted in the Latin meaning of the word "doctor"—a teacher—guiding clients to learn about their own coping mechanisms and personal development strategies to foster greater happiness and resilience. Dr. Bell's academic journey reflects her deep curiosity and commitment to understanding the intricate connections between the brain and behavior. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biology, magna cum laude, from Harvard University, followed by a PhD in Neuro- and Biobehavioral Sciences and a Doctor of Medicine from Stanford University. Her training continued with a psychiatry internship and residency at the University of California, San Francisco, culminating in board certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Throughout her career, she has explored the impact of diet, pharmacology, and complementary therapies on psychiatric and medical challenges, as well as on sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, incorporating evidence-based, integrative methods into her practice. Dr. Bell believes that making life changes can be challenging but ultimately rewarding, and she strives to be a trusted guide in that process. With a wealth of experience in both medical and psychiatric conditions, she tailors her treatment approach to each individual, staying abreast of the latest research to offer the most effective solutions. Beyond her professional life, Dr. Bell enjoys spending time with her two rescue dogs, reading, and writing both fiction and nonfiction. She finds joy in taking walks and engaging in meaningful conversations with friends.

I never received an email from the doctor for the appointment. So I was not seen by her, that was really disappointing.
