I am general psychiatrist who treats adults with a variety of mental health disorders. I strive for balance in your treatment plan, including medication management and psychotherapy. Coordination of care and continuity of care are very important to me. I will often contact your other health care providers as needed, in order to provide you with the highest level of care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chaisson for about 10 years, and throughout this journey, I have consistently felt valued and understood. From our very first appointment, it was clear that she listened attentively to my concerns, making me feel heard and respected. Her thoughtful consideration of my input regarding medications has empowered me in my own healthcare decisions. Dr. Chaisson is not just a medical professional; she is genuinely committed to my well-being. Her friendly demeanor creates a warm atmosphere. I appreciate how she takes the time to explain in a way that I can easily understand, ensuring I am always informed about my health. It's evident that she makes it her mission to ensure I feel valued and supported, and for this, I am truly grateful. Her dedication to her patients shines through in every interaction, and I can’t imagine having anyone else by my side on my health journey.

She has been my doctor for many years now, and shes the only one I've found really listens to what I'm saying and how I feel. Though appointments are brief and straight to the point, shes a doctor not a therapist. She took her time evaluating my condition, and didn't make an official diagnosis until she was 100% confident in what she was seeing. I have been to many facilities where they label me as Bi-Polar, General Mood Disorder, Psychotic Features emotionally disturbed etc.. but nothing was ever a fit. I really love her as a doctor, shes very kind and understanding. Her lower reviews perplex me as she has always been straight forward with me and I greatly appreciate it.

I've been seeing Dr. Chaisson-Mcrae since 2017, and I can honestly say she is one of the most compassionate and attentive providers I've ever had. She always takes the time to truly listen, never rushes our appointments, and makes sure all of my questions are answered before we wrap up. Her thoughtful and thorough approach has made a huge difference in my mental health journey. I feel genuinely heard and supported in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated psychiatrist.

I have been seeing Dr. Chaisson-McRae for many years. She listens and is very knowledgeable about her specialty as well as other areas of medicine. She was able to pre-diagnose me with possible sleep apnea (many other Dr's missed) and refer me to get a sleep study that confirmed I did in fact have sleep apnea. This was life changing. I recently suffered with depression and after struggling for months on my own, I went to see her and the med she put me on immediately helped me. I wish I hadn't waited to seek her help.

My appointment was at 8am I arrived 15 minutes early and the building was still locked someone arrived about 5 minutes later and opened the door! I was in the doctors office for my appointment by 8:02am! The office was very quiet and I was the only patient at that time! Dr. Chassion was friendly and comforting and gave great medical advice related to other issues I was having she even gave me recommendations for a good PCP!
