Education and Resources
Education and Resources from Beacon Psychiatry
The Blog
Psychiatry moves. Research evolves, clinical thinking shifts, and the cultural conversation around mental health keeps changing. I write a weekly blog that tracks these developments honestly and in depth, drawing on my academic background, my clinical practice, and my own perspective as a queer woman of color working in a field that’s still catching up to the complexity of real lives.
Topics include deprescribing, psychopharmacology, ADHD, anxiety, grief, cannabis and psychiatric medications, queer mental health, and the ethics of psychiatric practice. The blog is written for mental health professionals and engaged lay readers alike. You don’t need a clinical background to follow it. You do need to be curious.
Expert Doc Talk: Video Series for Clinicians
Expert Doc Talk is a short-form video series for busy clinicians who want to stay current on specialized psychiatric topics without committing to a full continuing education course.
Each video is 15 minutes long and comes with a downloadable five-bullet summary card for quick review. Videos can be purchased individually or by subscription, and a new installment is released monthly.
Topics cover areas where I have specific clinical and academic expertise, including the dental health consequences of psychiatric medications, sexual health and PTSD, and managing psychotropic medications across complex presentations.
This series is for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, primary care providers who prescribe psychotropics, therapists who want to understand the medication side of their patients’ care, and anyone else who wants to learn from someone who has spent years at the intersection of research and practice.
Specialty Topic Documents
Some of the most important clinical questions don’t have a good resource yet. These are the gaps I’ve written into.
The specialty document library is a growing collection of in-depth written resources on topics that sit at the edge of what most psychiatric education covers. They’re priced to be accessible and written to be genuinely useful.
Current and planned topics include: sexual health and PTSD, dental consequences of psychiatric medications including SSRIs, cannabis use in patients on psychotropics, and deprescribing guides written for patients rather than clinicians.
