Dr. Achina Stein is an osteopathic physician who graduated from Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine (formerly known as UMDNJ School of Osteopathic Medicine) in 1990 and has been in practice as a board-certified psychiatrist for 25 plus years. Her osteopathic roots set her apart from the conventional psychiatrists because of her use of osteopathic philosophy and training and biopsychosocial treatment approach. She is well trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and specializes in mood and dissociative disorders.
She has years of experience working with people who have chronic and persistent mental health problems in the community with children and adults, prison, and geriatric inpatient setting. Understanding the limitations of treatment with medication, Dr. Stein has continually searched for other modalities of treatment.
Propelled by her son’s health crisis in 2010, she found functional medicine which resolved all of his health problems as well as her own and since then, has been practicing functional medicine. She is certified by the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine and is a certified practitioner of the Institute for Functional Medicine.
Dr. Stein is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and awarded the Exemplary Psychiatrist Award by NAMI-RI in 2008. She has lived in RI since 2000 with her
husband and has three adult children.
She is presently in private practice in RI and co-owner of Functional Mind, LLC with Sally Davidson, ANP. She recently launched her online health coaching program, HealthySelf Bootcamp, LLC to assist people with chronic illnesses to reach their health goals from a distance.
