Carsen Sulzer

My name is Dr. Carsen Sulzer, and I currently serve full-time as the Medical Director at Mindful Health in Georgetown, TX. Prior to taking on this role and relocating to Texas, I held a position at Massachusetts General Hospital as a psychiatrist in their Team-Based Outpatient Psychiatry Program. I am a board-certified psychiatrist and fully licensed in the state of Texas. My clinical interest is in the use of Integrative Medicine within mental health treatment as well as trauma and stressor-related disorders, stemming from my work at the VA during residency. I strive to provide excellent, trauma-informed care for all of my patients, whether or not they present with a trauma history.

In line with those interests, I am the first author on a manuscript published in CT Medicine, which is an IRB-approved study I conducted in medical school to determine patients’ experiences with music interventions on an inpatient psychiatry unit. I have also engaged in learning alternative approaches to trauma therapy and completed my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in December 2023.

My current area of expertise is providing patient-centered, evidence-based psychopharmacologic management in a fast-paced, multi-service outpatient clinic. I have a strong interest in teaching and clinical supervision; at MGH, I supervised my team’s clinical pharmacist and nurse practitioner in addition to a nurse practitioner trainee through MGH’s IHP program and medical students and residents through Harvard Medical School. I continue to work within a collaborative team in my current role at Mindful Health.
