Hi, I’m Dr. Hillary Wynn, M.D.
I'm an integrative psychiatrist who believes that a prescription alone is rarely the whole answer, and that the most powerful thing a provider can offer is a real relationship, an honest conversation, and a treatment plan built around who you actually are.
I came to this work through my own family. Growing up in a home shaped by my father's alcoholism, I became a careful observer of people, someone who wanted to understand the story behind the anger, the behavior, and the pain. That curiosity led me to psychiatry, and more than 25 years of practice across tribal communities, county mental health systems, inpatient hospitals, and private care has only deepened my conviction that healing requires more than medication management. As an adoptive parent of four children who came to our family through the Milwaukee Child Welfare system, each with their own history of developmental trauma, I also know this work from the inside. That lived experience sits alongside my clinical training every single day.
My approach draws on medication management, evidence-based psychotherapy, nutritional and lifestyle support, family systems work, mindfulness, and a genuine respect for the cultural values and personal beliefs that make you who you are. Whether you are a child who has never felt safe, an adult who has been in and out of treatment without real results, or a family trying to find solid ground together, this practice was built for you.
You have an illness, not an identity, and I have never yet met a person who worked hard and stayed open and did not find their way to a better life. You are not the exception to that rule.
Who I Help & My Areas of Focus
Do you…
Feel like you have tried everything, seen multiple providers, and still do not feel like yourself?
Wonder if your diagnosis is actually correct, or if something important has been missed along the way?
Wish your psychiatrist would take the time to actually know you, instead of spending 15 minutes reviewing your medications and sending you on your way?
Feel like your cultural background, your family history, or your lived experience has never really been part of the conversation?
Struggle to get your child the right help, and feel exhausted trying to navigate a system that keeps giving you the same answers that are not working?
Lie awake at night wondering if things will ever actually get better, or if this is just the way life is going to be?
Want to be an active participant in your own healing, not just a patient waiting to be told what to do?
If any of that sounds familiar, you are in the right place. This practice was built for people who are done settling for care that only scratches the surface. You deserve a provider who will sit with you long enough to understand the full picture, challenge you when you need it, and walk alongside you with both honesty and genuine care.

My Approach
A Different Kind of Psychiatric Care
Every treatment plan I create is built around the whole person, drawing from a range of approaches that go well beyond what you will find in a standard psychiatric appointment.
-
Thoughtful, conservative prescribing that accounts for your full medical picture, including chronic conditions, hormone levels, and nutritional status. The goal is always the lowest effective dose with the greatest quality of life.
-
Including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy, Supportive Therapy, Insight-Oriented Therapy, and Reality Therapy. Because understanding your patterns is the first step to changing them.
-
The gold-standard treatment for OCD, offered in both virtual and in-person formats including real-world settings. For patients who have spent years being told the wrong diagnosis, this approach can be genuinely life-changing.
-
For blended, adoptive, and foster families navigating trauma, conflict, and attachment challenges. Healing one person in a family works best when the whole family is part of the conversation
-
Because when you truly understand your diagnosis, your medications, and your treatment options, you stop being defined by your illness and start taking ownership of your recovery.
-
Diet, sleep, exercise, and hormonal balance all directly affect your mental health. This practice addresses those factors rather than ignoring them.
-
Practical, teachable tools for managing anxiety, reducing stress, and building a steadier relationship with your own thoughts and emotions.
-
Your identity, your values, and your community are not separate from your mental health. They are central to it. Care that ignores who you are will only take you so far.
-
For children, adolescents, and adults who want to feel more confident and capable in their relationships and daily interactions.
