Brain Health Optimization & Genetic Testing

Because brain fog, anxiety, and forgetfulness are not your new normal.

If you've ever thought, "Why do I feel like this when my labs are fine?" — you're not alone. At Grounded Psychiatry, we help you get to the root of what’s really going on through advanced functional medicine testing and personalized brain health care.

We work with high-achieving adults and teens who want answers and hope— not just another pill.

  • Your brain is powerful — and sensitive. At Grounded Psychiatry, we don’t just look at symptoms.

    We explore the deeper biology of how your brain is functioning — from neurotransmitters and nutrient status to sleep quality, toxin load, gut health, and hormone balance.

    This is root-cause mental health care designed not only to help you feel like yourself again, but also to protect your brain for the long run — including reducing your risk for cognitive decline and dementia.

  • Genetic testing gives us insight into how your body makes, breaks down, and responds to key brain chemicals — like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA.

    Functional testing adds another layer, showing nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, detox challenges, or hormonal imbalances that may be impacting your mood or focus.

    When we understand your biology, we can support it — not suppress it.

  • This approach is ideal if you're:

    • Experiencing brain fog, fatigue, or low motivation

    • Struggling with mood swings, anxiety, or memory lapses

    • Curious about how your genetics or hormones affect your mental health

    • Wanting to reduce or avoid medication by supporting your brain from the inside out

    • Craving a science-backed, personalized plan — not a generic diagnosis

  • We use advanced genetic panels (and interpret your results through a holistic psychiatric lens. That means:

    • No overwhelm. We translate your data into real-life changes you can actually do.

    • No judgment. Every plan is collaborative and centered around what works for you.

    • No dead ends. We combine your genetic data with sleep, lifestyle, labwork, and symptoms to create a full picture of brain health.

  • ✔️ A 1:1 consult where we review your test results together
    ✔️ A clear explanation of what your results mean for your brain, mood, and metabolism
    ✔️ A customized plan that may include:

    • Targeted supplementation

    • Nutrient repletion and absorption support

    • Tools to reduce brain inflammation and boost focus

    • Lifestyle upgrades to protect your brain long term

    This isn’t about hacking your brain — it’s about understanding it, respecting it, and optimizing it to feel grounded and energized again.

You don’t have to keep guessing what’s going on with your brain.

Let’s find out what your labs and genetics are trying to tell you — and whether our approach is the right next step. ♡

  • Client Love

    “I started seeing Jessica early last year and told her that I truly wanted to come off of my depression medication safely if at all possible. Jessica is well educated in the use of natural vitamins and lifestyle changes to treat my depression, mood swings and at times anxiety. What impressed me most was Jessica’s willingness to provide resources to educate me about what to expect and at NO time pressured me to convert to vitamins from medication. Every time we met, I would advise Jessica of how I was feeling and she always listened and offered multiple options of how we could best get me to a better place. Currently, I am on no medications ONLY vitamins and I have honestly never felt better.”

  • Client Love

    I cannot recommend Jessica Kettell highly enough. From my very first appointment, she created a safe, understanding, and compassionate space where I felt truly heard. Her expertise, patience, and thoughtful approach have made a profound difference in my mental health journey. One of the most impactful aspects of my care with Jessica was her guidance in safely transitioning off antidepressants after five years. She provided clear, step-by-step support throughout the process, ensuring I felt confident and well-supported every step of the way. Her extensive knowledge of vitamins and supplements also played a key role in my treatment, offering natural and effective alternatives to support my overall well-being.
