My name is Dr. Briana Komar. ​I am a board-certified psychiatrist with over a decade of clinical experience working at several hospitals, including UConn Health, Connecticut Valley Hospital and Whiting Forensic Hospital. I am currently dedicating my career towards expanding and improving the field of precision medicine and believe that it is my duty as a psychiatrist to never stop learning, and to ceaselessly pursue knowledge of new treatment modalities through continuing education. I enjoy the challenge of helping people who do not respond to the “one-size-fits-all” approach of conventional medicine to find solutions to their problems. I offer comprehensive bloodwork, as well as nutrigenomic, pharmacogenomic, and comprehensive hormonal testing in order to fully assess and optimize the health of my patients. Treatment may involve psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, use of medications, compounded hormones, nutraceuticals and supplements, and nutrition counseling.

I was raised in Brooklyn, New York and received my BA in Comparative Literature from Georgetown University. After college, and prior to receiving my medical degree, I lived abroad in France and Ireland for several years, where I pursued an interest in the culinary arts and nutrition—working as a food writer and cheesemonger—an interest which I passionately pursue to this day. ​

Around that time I became intensely interested in women’s health issues, and returned to the United States to complete my premed requirements at Columbia University in New York. I earned my MD from St. George’s University School of Medicine, and then completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, serving my last year of residency as Chief Education Resident. I completed a fellowship in integrative psychiatry in 2021 at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, an educational organization offering the most comprehensive evidence-based training in integrative psychiatry in the nation. I founded the Integrative Psychiatry Workshop in 2021 and became a certified personalized medicine practitioner in 2024.
