Dr. Meera Nair is a dedicated and compassionate, board-eligible psychiatrist and a proud member of the American Psychiatric Association. She specializes in integrative and interventional mental health care, with clinical expertise in depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and treatment-resistant disorders. Her areas of special interest include women’s mental health, medication-related weight management, and emerging psychiatric treatments such as Spravato® (esketamine), TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), and ketamine therapy.

Raised in Ohio, Dr. Nair earned her medical degree from the Kerala University of Health Sciences, where her passion for whole-person care first took root. She completed her psychiatry residency at the Mount Sinai – Loretto Hospital Psychiatry Program and now proudly serves adolescents and adults across the Greater Chicago area through both in-person and telepsychiatry services.

Dr. Nair also integrates interventional psychiatry techniques for individuals who have not responded to conventional treatments.
