Our Story
Our practice was founded by Ioana N. Shirley MD, a renowned psychiatrist with over 25 years of clinical experience and 10 years of medical direction of eating disorder centers in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Shirley is a highly trained physician and a Diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Her extensive background in clinical psychiatry and private practice has equipped her to develop a unique approach to mental healthcare that integrates counseling, medications, and neuromodulation in a patient-centered experience.
Our Philosophy
At Psychiatry Consultants LLC, we believe that recovery is a personal and unique journey. That's why we take the time to get to know each patient as an individual, rather than just a diagnosis. We recognize that each person has a distinct set of circumstances, strengths, and challenges that require a tailored approach to care. Our team is dedicated to providing a holistic and comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of each patient.
