I am Dr. Jon-Michael A. Saenz, a committed psychiatrist with extensive training and experience in managing severe mental illnesses and mood disorders. I obtained my medical degree from the University of Rochester and completed my psychiatry residency at Tufts Medical Center. Following this, I pursued a fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry, where I specialized in treating substance use disorders, personality disorders, as well as severe mania and psychosis. A major part of this training is the ability to clearly communicate complex issues to both patients and others outside the mental health field. My professional experience includes working at Bridgewater State Hospital, Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital, and the Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, where I refined my skills in addressing a diverse array of mental health conditions. My practice is grounded in a patient-centered approach, always striving to provide individualized and compassionate care. I hold medical licenses in both North Carolina and Massachusetts and possess certifications that enable me to prescribe specialized treatments, including controlled substances and Suboxone. My dedication to excellence in psychiatry has been recognized through multiple Outstanding Resident Teacher Awards during my residency. My mission is to make a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of my patients, and I am here to support you on your journey to improved mental health.

I help people from all walks of life reduce feelings of overwhelm and discomfort by growing their confidence, achieving their personal goals and being able to bring their best selves to their relationships. Life can be challenging--and we are not meant to go through it without a good support system. I will be part of that support for you, and most importantly, show you how to realize your own internal strengths that you can tap into whenever life throws you a curve ball. You already have everything you need and I can show you how to find it. Your access to mental healthcare shouldn’t be limited by your bank account. If you have questions about cost, coverage or are trying to figure out how to choose the right therapist, please connect with us for a free brief consultation. There are options--my priority is to help those seeking care to connect with a therapist that feels like the right fit. Now is the time to heal what is paining you from your past and finally give yourself the confidence to communicate your needs effectively, love yourself unconditionally and maintain healthy boundaries with the people in your life.
