From an early age, I have been encouraged to be curious and inquisitive in humanity. This attracted me to the profession of psychiatry, which gave me the opportunity to have a positive impact on an individual. Empowering each patient is of my highest concern and I make every effort to instill confidence and provide support through the healing process.

Dr. Blaire Heath grew up in Southern California and started doing volunteer work locally and abroad when she was in high school, including mission trips to Latin America and Africa. Her passion for helping others and health brought me to pursue the field of nutrition and pharmacy. However, following a medical mission trip to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, she really felt a calling to pursue medicine and work more closely with patients. She loves that the field of mental health applies to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit and that overall health means not just addressing a single area of one’s life.

A real, caring relationship with a doctor that knows you as a person is the most important aspect of care. To facilitate these relationships, my practice is small, responsive and high-touch.

In terms of real-world delivery of care, I designed my practice so that it is flexible to your needs and accessible based on your schedule.

Accepting new patients for in-person or telemedicine visits. Tell me, what is going on in your life? Does our rapidly changing world leave you feeling overwhelmed? Are you having difficulties with your relationships, focus, or sleep? Have you lost the energy — or interest — to engage in activities that once brought you joy? Do you feel your problems are not being acknowledged or treated adequately? Nearly everyone has hit rough patches that required them to stop and reassess if their life is headed in a direction that reflects their values. If you’re reading this, it’s likely you may be feeling a little lost in the woods yourself.
