About Us

How did you come up with the name Metta Psychiatry:
 “Metta” is a Pāli word meaning loving-kindness, benevolence, friendliness, and an active interest in the welfare of others. Metta meditation is a mindfulness practice involving the repetition of the phrases “may I be safe, may I be healthy, may I be happy, may I live with ease” and then directing the phrases towards those you are closest to followed by acquaintances, and then finally towards difficult people in one’s life. This practice has scientific evidence to reduce stress, improve the immune response, and engender empathy and compassion. Metta meditation has been an important part of my own journey through the medical field inspired by such mindfulness luminaries as Thich Nhat Hanh and Jon Kabat-Zinn. It is with this strong wish for the happiness and welfare of others that I suffuse my psychiatric practice. The symbol for Metta psychiatry, the open Ensō or zen circle, represents beauty and perfection in imperfection.
