Dr. Michael Bell, MD: Psychiatrist

Transforming Mental Health Through Holistic Psychiatry and Integrative Wellness

The growing demand for personalized health has exposed significant gaps in today’s healthcare systems. Meeting these needs requires holistic frameworks and patient-centered methodologies that integrate Western and Eastern medicine to empower individuals toward optimal living.

I bring over 24 years of experience as a board-certified psychiatrist with a deep understanding of modern medicine and integrative health practices that address the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My career includes work with leading institutions such as the National Institutes of Health, Cleveland Clinic, and National Navy Medical Center, where I served as chief resident in psychopharmacology.

My global exposure to health practices across Africa, South America, and Australia has further shaped my philosophy, integrating the wisdom of traditional practices and modern medicine with evidence-based approaches to care. Through these roles and experiences, I have gained firsthand insight into the strengths and limitations of conventional health systems, as well as the opportunities to innovate beyond them.

Mind Garden Path is the culmination of my life's work— a virtual practice that offers meaningful, individualized solutions that bridges psychiatry with holistic wellness. Central to our mission is a framework I developed called Dread Philosophy. Drawing on ancestral teachings from the Caribbean and Ethiopia and merging them with modern science, it is designed to help individuals reclaim their health with dignity and purpose.

If you share a vision of advancing whole-person health or are seeking a truly holistic approach to wellness, I welcome the opportunity to connect with you.
