In a world that offers one-size-fits-all solutions, Being Health was created for patients who desire a truly personalized approach to mental health care that emphasizes the impact of both mind and body on a person’s well-being. Being Health offers a multi-dimensional approach and provides access to a diversity of evidence-based treatments to patients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.

Co-founded and led by Cornell-trained psychiatrist Dr. Allie Sharma, Being Health’s care team includes a diverse array of clinicians – such as psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), functional medicine physicians, nutritionists, acupuncturists and care advocates – all working together to provide exceptional patient care and better patient outcomes.

“We are combining the best of what is tried and tested in psychiatry with what is new and novel in our field,” said Dr. Allie Sharma, Being Health co-founder and Chief Medical Officer. “More and more Americans are grappling with mental health conditions, with far too many feeling overwhelmed by the burden of navigating their own care. At Being Health we’ve created a modern mental health practice that seamlessly incorporates a diversity of therapeutic approaches including, for example, ketamine infusion therapy for treatment resistant depression or functional medicine combined with nutritional support to optimize both health and mental health outcomes, which we know are inextricably linked.”

Being Health’s modern mental health practice is guided by empathic clinicians and clinical excellence under the leadership of Medical Director Dr. Hudson Elmore. With multiple disciplines offered under one roof, Being Health’s team of clinicians collaborate with each other to personalize care according to individual needs, offering the potential for optimized mental health outcomes.

“Being Health’s integrated model of care leveraging traditional and novel treatments is positioned to play a leading role in transforming mental health care as we know it,” said Haim Dabah, founder of HDS Capital and lead investor. “By expanding the mental health toolkit and building a team of best-in-class clinicians coupled with gold standard safety protocols, Being Health can serve as a bridge to bring innovative treatments to patients in a safe, clinical environment.

“Today there are more than fifty biotech and pharmaceutical companies investing hundreds of millions of dollars into the development of promising therapeutic applications of novel treatments with approximately thirty clinical trials in Phase II and Phase III with promising results. Upon FDA approval, these novel treatments will likely require delivery to patients in clinically-monitored settings. Being Health is poised to become first-to-market to deliver these novel treatments to patients.”

Being Health offers both in-person and virtual care, with a two-story, 7,000 square foot built-to-suit clinic located in Lower Manhattan at 76 Beaver St. The state-of-the-art facility features 22 spacious rooms for in-person services. New patients can book consultations online at beinghealth.co/book-an-appointment.

“Opportunities for enhancing the mental health care system are rapidly expanding and we see ourselves at the forefront of these innovations,” said Stephen Dabah co-founder & president. “We are creating a new standard for modern mental health care and are developing an ecosystem for the future delivery of novel treatments as they become FDA-approved.”
