Elliot Feld(He/Him/His)

Elliot Feld, MD (he/him) is a board-certified psychiatrist and therapist at Sapien Psychiatry in North Providence, Rhode Island. As a medical physician who also provides talk therapy, Dr. Feld offers a holistic and integrated approach to mental health treatment.

The mind and the body are two sides of the same coin. Simultaneous treatment of both mind and body is essential for positive outcomes. By combining medication with talk therapy, and knowing when and how to use either, or both, of these tools -- depending on the person and their circumstances -- Dr. Feld focuses on treating individuals.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each of us has a unique set of life experiences. We are all products of our biology, our psychology, our upbringing, and our environment. And yet, we all have different experiences of culture, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, relationships... the list goes on. To better understand these factors, and how they contribute to our pains or our strengths, is to better understand ourselves. And to better understand ourselves is to create a path towards healing.

The name "Sapien Psychiatry" refers to "Homo sapiens," which is the scientific name of our species. "Homo sapiens" means "wise humans." Every one of us is a wise human... our experience of consciousness sets us apart from all other creatures on Earth. Mentally, we are capable of great things. Unfortunately, we are also capable of great suffering. By considering all of our available tools (medicine, cognitive therapy) and tapping into our innate human wisdom (social connection, nutrition, exercise, circadian rhythm), we can use our wisdom to achieve wellness.
