Your Mental Health is Our Priority
Menu
I’m Betty Yu, a dual-board certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner with over a decade of diverse healthcare experience. I follow an integrative approach to care, rooted in the principles of functional medicine. This personalized and holistic approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of mental and physical health issues—not merely managing symptoms.
Functional medicine regards the body as an interconnected system rather than a collection of isolated symptoms. My approach is designed to restore health and balance by examining the intricate interplay between genetics, environment, diet, and lifestyle. Through comprehensive evaluations, I am able to uncover and address often-overlooked issues, such as metabolic and hormonal imbalances, drug-drug and gene-drug interactions, methylation disorders, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, thyroid dysfunction, gut problems, inflammation, adrenal insufficiency, and metal toxicity.
In my practice, I frequently see patients on multiple medications who continue to struggle with unresolved symptoms. Observing these suboptimal outcomes motivated me to pursue advanced training in functional medicine.
Leveraging my background in psychiatry and internal medicine, along with specialized training in IV ketamine therapy, functional medicine, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), I am committed to delivering comprehensive, individualized care that extends beyond conventional psychiatric treatment modalities.
At Aspire, we are dedicated to nurturing your overall well-being to help you achieve harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Our integrated approach to health combines the best of traditional and alternative healing practices, guided by a team of experienced professionals who are passionate about holistic living. From conventional psychiatric treatment to personalized wellness consultations, hormone balancing, advanced laboratory testing, anti-aging therapies, nutritional guidance, and supplement recommendations, we provide a comprehensive range of services that empower you to embark on a transformative journey towards vitality.
We are currently accepting new patients for in-person appointments at our Canton office. Telehealth consultations are available throughout Massachusetts & New Hampshire when appropriate. Our sessions are by appointment only, and we do not have walk-in or crisis management options available.

Initial psychiatric evaluation appointments are one hour long. Most follow-up sessions are thirty minutes, but may be scheduled for longer to best serve the needs of the individual patient.
A review of your psychiatric history, presenting symptoms, current medications and lifestyle will be discussed during the initial psychiatric evaluation. The provider will gather the required documentation to adequately assess, diagnose, and treat the patient.
The patient will be given treatment recommendations and discuss potential side effects, efficacy, and duration of treatment. The provider will develop a treatment plan that best suits the needs of the patient. The patient has the right to refuse treatment or inquire about alternative treatment options. If it is outside the scope of my practice, I will provide referrals to a provider that can better serve your needs.
Most follow ups occur between 1 week to 2 months. Rarely 3 month appointments are scheduled for patients (usually only for established patients that have been stable on medication for a prolonged period of time). The frequency of appointments varies depending on the complexity case of the individual patient. Prescriptions are filled up until next scheduled appointment. Patient to contact the office if a sooner refill is needed.
A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is a certified advanced practice nurse that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental illness and psychological problems. I do not provide primary therapy services.
In this setting, my primary role would be to recommend, prescribe and manage medications when appropriate and review risks, benefits, and alternatives to medications. When appropriate, I would order and review labs. We primarily provide medication management and occasionally, supportive therapy. Oftentimes, patients would also work with a therapist for therapy sessions. We have a relationship with several area therapists and can provide referrals to established patients.
