Who will you see?

Dr. McDade, at every visit. Health & Harmony Psychiatry is a physician-only practice, so every follow-up is with the physician who already knows your story.

Your first evaluation looks at your medical history and current stressors as well as your symptoms. Her practice has a strong women-centered focus. From 2020 to 2025, she worked exclusively with women patients across the lifespan.

The practice provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management, follow-up, and coordination with the patient's other clinicians. Full recovery is the goal, even if the best path is a referral.

    Your history and your health

    What she finds

    She explains what she finds, including what may be behind what you notice, and what that means for your daily life.

  4. 04

    A plan built with you
