Bio
My name is Dr. Kia Sayers, and I am a reproductive psychiatrist. I completed residency at Yale and am finishing my fellowship at Brown University. I'm interested in the mental health across a women's lifespan as well as postpartum psychosis prevention. I am also certified in medical acupuncture.Project ideas
