Benjamin Cheyette

Since high school if not earlier, Dr. Benjamin Cheyette has been analytical about human behavior and interested in the brain. While initially leaning towards academia, he found great satisfaction in direct patient care during medical school and beyond. Throughout his years of research and professorship, he continued to treat patients and is passionate about helping people overcome emotional challenges.

He has a collaborative approach that emphasizes sharing his deep formal expertise and clinical experience to help patients make well-informed decisions. He recognizes that for all patients in the outpatient setting, treatment for mental health is a choice, and so a patient must be on board with any proposed therapeutic approach. He has found the best way to achieve this is by offering a thorough explanation of his thought process, so that his patients understand his rationale for recommending a course of treatment.

Having spent several decades in academia as a research scientist, Dr. Benjamin Cheyette is interested in cutting-edge innovations such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), the emerging field of psychedelic medicine, and applying these treatments to patient care in an evidence-based manner.
