Welcome to Mental Serenity!

At Mental Serenity Psychiatric Services, we provide thoughtful, personalized psychiatric evaluations and evidence-based medication management tailored to your unique needs.

We take a whole-person approach to care. This means we consider your mental health history, physical health, lifestyle, stressors, and personal goals when developing your treatment plan. Our focus is on creating a respectful, collaborative, and responsive experience where you feel heard and supported.

When medication is appropriate, we carefully select and adjust prescriptions to ensure they are effective, well-tolerated, and aligned with your overall wellness journey. We prioritize safety, clarity, and ongoing communication so you feel confident in your care.

Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, or looking to enhance your therapy with medication management, our goal is to help you feel more balanced, focused, and resilient.

Sana Kalra, APRN, PMHNP-BC, is trained in integrative psychiatry through Psychiatry Redefined, offering an approach that extends beyond medication alone.

Integrative psychiatry supports whole-person brain and body wellness and may include strategic laboratory testing to assess for underlying deficiencies, targeted supplement recommendations, natural treatment options, and thoughtful integration with traditional psychiatric care. Treatment plans may combine supplements with medication or explore non-pharmacologic approaches when appropriate.

Cost and Coverage: While elements of a holistic approach are often incorporated into routine visits that may be covered by insurance, comprehensive integrative evaluations and certain strategic labs, supplements, or specialized treatments may involve out-of-pocket costs. We encourage patients to discuss potential expenses in advance to ensure transparency and informed decision-making.

Our Collaborative Approach to Ketamine and SPRAVATO® Care

At Mental Serenity Psychiatric Services PLLC, we value strong collaboration with psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, therapists, primary care clinicians, and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated, high-quality care.

We welcome referrals for both ketamine therapy and SPRAVATO® (esketamine) treatment. Clients are encouraged to continue working with their existing providers. Our role is to support, not replace, established therapeutic or psychiatric relationships.

With client consent, we communicate with referring providers, respect existing treatment plans, share relevant clinical updates, and offer insight regarding the safety and appropriateness of ketamine-based treatments.

We do not manage or alter a client’s current psychiatric medications when they are referred specifically for ketamine or SPRAVATO®. As part of our evaluation, we review psychiatric and medical history, current medications, and overall treatment suitability. If clinical considerations arise, we communicate directly with the referring provider to promote safe, informed decision-making.

Our goal is simple: the best possible outcome for every patient through thoughtful collaboration, clinical clarity, and compassionate care.

We provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations and personalized treatment for teens (16+) and adults across Connecticut, New York, and Rhode Island.

Our thorough assessments evaluate how ADHD may be affecting your focus, organization, productivity, and overall well-being, while also screening for conditions that can mimic or coexist with ADHD to ensure diagnostic clarity.

Treatment plans are tailored to your needs and may include medication management, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle guidance to strengthen executive functioning.

Whether you are seeking answers for the first time or continuing care, we provide compassionate, evidence-based support to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

GeneSight® testing helps reduce the guesswork in prescribing by analyzing how your genetic profile may influence your response to psychiatric medications.

This pharmacogenomic test provides guidance on medication selection, particularly if you have experienced side effects or limited improvement with past treatments. It supports more personalized, informed prescribing decisions.

Please note that GeneSight® does not guarantee specific outcomes but serves as an additional tool to guide medication options as part of your overall treatment plan.
