Building strong interprofessional relationships and regularly participating in team meetings helps to overcome these challenges and deliver comprehensive mental health care.

The clinician will assess and treat patients with a variety of diagnoses including fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC/Long COVID), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and related symptom clusters (e.g., chronic pain, fatigue, dyspnea, sleep disturbance, cognitive concerns, and autonomic symptoms).

  • Herb and dietary supplement consultation visits, including medication-supplement reconciliation 
    and evidence-informed counseling.

  • Diagnosis and management support for POTS and other autonomic dysfunction concerns, in coordination with specialty partners as appropriate.
  • Care of patients with overlapping conditions such as migraine/headache disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, sleep disorders, anxiety/depression, post-viral syndromes, and deconditioning.


Key Responsibilities

  • Perform comprehensive histories and physical exams; synthesize complex records; and create differential diagnoses and evidence-informed care plans.
  • Order, interpret, and act on diagnostic tests and screenings; coordinate referrals and consults with relevant specialties (e.g., cardiology, pulmonology, neurology, rheumatology, sleep medicine, rehabilitation, behavioral health).
  • Provide symptom-targeted treatment (pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic) and longitudinal management, emphasizing functional goals and shared decision-making.
  • Educate patients and families on condition understanding, self-management strategies and expectation setting.
  • Collaboration with nursing, physical therapy, psychology/psychiatry, other team members.
  • Opportunities for participation in quality improvement, practice initiatives that enhance access, outcomes, and patient experience, and research.
  • Maintain current knowledge of evolving evidence and guidelines related to Long COVID/PASC, autonomic dysfunction, chronic pain, and fatigue syndromes.
