Dr. Alexandra Gotsche, DO
I take a holistic, integrative, and evidence-based approach to mental health care. I emphasize the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance and working closely with each patient to ensure treatment fits their unique needs and goals. I am experienced in treating a variety of psychiatric conditions including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and ADHD. I am committed to providing comprehensive care in a supportive environment.
I conduct a thorough evaluation to learn each patient's medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. I value open communication and a collaborative approach, ensuring that patients are actively involved in the decision-making process. An individualized treatment plan will be developed which may include medication management, psychotherapy, or referrals to additional services as needed. My goal is to provide integrated, patient-centered care that promotes long-term well-being.
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist originally from Illinois. I completed my undergraduate studies at Illinois State University before earning my medical degree from Kansas City University. I went on to complete my psychiatry residency at the University of Oklahoma. Following residency, I worked at the Kansas City VA Medical Center where I primarily focused on outpatient mental health.
Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy cooking, reading, cycling, and hiking.

Dr. Alexandra Hamlyn, MD
My primary focus is on medication management, though I also have experience working in four different outpatient clinics where I have gained expertise in multiple different therapy modalities. If appropriate, I will refer you for psychotherapy and collaborate with your therapist to support your care. I appreciate the importance of fostering a meaningful therapeutic relationship, and my goal is to make every patient feel welcomed in a non-judgmental treatment environment. I also take a holistic approach, as I understand that good health creates a sense of overall well-being and improved mental health. I strongly emphasize the importance of mindfulness, self-compassion, exercise, nutrition, and interpersonal relationships throughout treatment.

During the first few sessions, I will take time to get to know the patient, their history, current concerns, and what they hope to achieve through treatment.

Follow-up visits are typically focused on checking in, adjusting treatments if necessary, and continuing to build on progress.

Dr. Alexandre Cupler, MD
I take a patient-centered approach to care, making it a priority to ensure that each patient's concerns are genuinely heard. I strive to create a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental, and safe environment where patients feel comfortable discussing difficult topics and working collaboratively toward their goals. Initial sessions focus on understanding the patient's primary concerns, history, and treatment goals. I tailor care to each individual's preferred treatment style and ensure patients are informed about their treatment plan so they know what to expect and can take an active role in their care.

Dr. Amareen Dhaliwal, MD
I am an integrative psychiatrist with a warm, structured, and research-driven approach that combines medication when needed with integrative tools such as CBT, lifestyle changes, a "24-hour approach", and a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens. I treat depression, bipolar, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use, and psychotic-spectrum disorders with a holistic, results-driven approach. I work with individuals who feel stuck — functioning on the outside but "not like myself" inside — and focus on root causes to help them gain clarity, momentum, and purpose to function at their highest level across home, career, and life.
I begin with a 360-degree assessment exploring emotional patterns, routine, physical health, neurobiology, and values. My 24-hour optimization model supports intentional living, clarity, and structure. I fine-tune medications and augment with integrative tools to enhance mood, resilience, and wellbeing.
I hold an MPH and completed a 1-year fellowship through Psychiatry Redefined, as well as intensive inpatient and outpatient training.
