We transform and improve lives by integrating compassionate mental health care with professional advancement through education and career mentorship.
01 · Who we are
A practice built on three convictions.
MHMG is a psychiatric practice founded by Dr. Leonardo Batista to integrate compassionate clinical care with education and mentorship — bringing academic-grade psychiatry directly to patients in five U.S. states, in three languages.
Compassion is clinical.
Warmth isn’t a soft skill — it’s how good outcomes start. We build trust before we build plans.
Education changes care.
We teach the next generation of clinicians and write for patients who want to understand their own minds.
Excellence travels.
From Brown and Harvard to your screen at home — academic-grade psychiatry, made personal.
To foster a supportive community that promotes balance, fulfillment, and growth by empowering individuals and mental health professionals through compassionate care, innovation and education.
Senior, board-certified, and quietly excellent.
