Dr. Nicole Motakef, D.O.

Early in her training in medicine, Dr. Motakef realized that health is far from black and white, and medicine is often looked at from the standpoint of disease and what is wrong, rather than searching for optimal health. It was through her intensive training that Dr. Motakef found medications far from enough to help those struggling with their mental health. By integrating therapy, self-discovery, mindfulness, nutrition, exercise, new innovative treatments, and traditional medications, we can live an emboldened life to the fullest.
