Getting to know Molly Paxton

I focus on thoughtful medication management for complex, hard-to-treat and standard conditions. Using a caring, neurobiological approach, I look at aspects like frontal lobe function, nervous system balance, and neurotransmitter deficits to understand and address a variety of concerns—whether it's ADHD, executive challenges, high-functioning anxiety, OCD traits, trauma or C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality issues, or cases where typical medication options haven't worked. My work often involves supporting high-achieving individuals whose difficulties might not be obvious because they appear successful. While I enjoy tackling clinical complexities, I also dedicate the same careful attention to helping with anxiety, depression, and clients beginning medication for the first time.

What should a new client know about working with you?

We will look at the full picture of your life: sleep, stress, relationships, and habits. We use medication as an individualized tool, with a strong focus on your real-life functioning and on minimizing side effects. In addition to psychiatric evaluations, I specialize in comprehensive metabolic health. While my structured metabolic and weight-management care is a distinct program within my practice, this clinical background heavily informs how I evaluate patients from a whole-person perspective.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin with a comprehensive assessment to grasp not only the symptoms but also the wider patterns that contribute to them. I stay updated with the latest research, draw on my experience with over 550 patients, and put on my thinking cap to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals and symptoms.
