The town’s blend of suburban warmth, strong community identity, and convenient access to the Massachusetts border makes it a welcoming home for families, professionals, and retirees alike.

Nestled in southeastern Rockingham County, Atkinson sits just north of the Massachusetts state line, roughly 35 miles north of Boston and about 25 miles southeast of Manchester, New Hampshire. The town covers approximately 11 square miles of gently rolling terrain, dotted with quiet ponds, wooded conservation land, and the picturesque Big Island Pond along its eastern edge. Its location offers residents the tranquility of a small New England town while keeping the cultural amenities, healthcare networks, and employment hubs of Greater Boston, the Seacoast, and the Merrimack Valley within easy reach. This balance of seclusion and accessibility continues to shape the character of the community.


If you or someone you love has struggled to find relief from mental health challenges, you are not alone. Many people feel discouraged after trying medications or therapy without lasting improvement. At Elemental Psychiatry, we understand how overwhelming that journey can be.
Our mission is to offer a more comprehensive and compassionate approach to mental health care. Through functional and integrative psychiatry, we look beyond symptoms and explore underlying biochemical factors that may contribute to emotional and cognitive struggles. By combining biochemical testing, nutritional support, supplements, and thoughtful medication management, we help patients uncover answers and move toward lasting stability and healing.
Elemental Psychiatry is led by Dr. Valeria Dworkowitz, who graduated summa cum laude from Rutgers University with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree specializing in Psychiatric/Mental Health. She founded her private practice in 2018 to provide personalized psychiatric care that takes the time to truly understand each patient.
Unlike larger practices where patients may see multiple providers, Elemental Psychiatry is intentionally designed as a one-provider practice. Every patient works directly with Dr. Dworkowitz, allowing for continuity of care and a strong therapeutic relationship.
Dr. Dworkowitz serves patients in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, offering both in-person and telemedicine appointments by combining traditional psychiatry with advanced training in functional psychiatry, metabolic psychiatry, biochemical testing, and nutritional psychiatry. Her approach integrates medication when appropriate with targeted vitamins, minerals, supplements, and specialized lab testing to better understand the biological factors influencing mental health.


Treatment begins with a two-hour psychiatric evaluation designed to thoroughly understand your history, symptoms, and goals.
During this session:
This comprehensive evaluation allows care to begin with a clear and thoughtful foundation.
Based on the psychiatric evaluation, specialized lab testing may be recommended to explore potential biochemical imbalances affecting mental health.
Testing may include:
After testing is completed, a detailed lab review explains all clinically significant findings. From there, a personalized supplement and nutritional protocol is created.
Targeted nutritional support can significantly influence brain health and emotional stability. Individualized supplement protocols may include vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients selected to address biochemical imbalances. Best effects from protocols are usually seen within 2-3 months, after which, progress is reviewed, and adjustments are made if needed.
Medication can be an important part of treatment when used carefully. At Elemental Psychiatry, medication is prescribed thoughtfully and often combined with nutritional and biochemical support.
The goal is always to stabilize symptoms using the least amount of medication necessary while supporting overall brain health.
Dr. Dworkowitz also incorporates therapeutic techniques that support emotional healing and long-term resilience. She is trained in EMDR, Sand Tray Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Pranic Healing, and her care is trauma-informed.
She has particular experience supporting individuals with PTSD and Complex PTSD, especially those related to childhood adversity and childhood trauma.

Dr. Dworkowitz has experience working with patients with various disorders including:

Valeria Dworkowitz and Elemental Psychiatry LLC do not accept insurance and are considered out-of-network providers with payment due at time of service.
We understand that navigating insurance can be important to your care. If your plan allows for out-of-network benefits, we are happy to provide the necessary documentation to support your reimbursement submission (also known as a Superbill).
We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your out-of-network coverage and eligibility. We are here to help guide you through the process whenever possible.
Beginning care at Elemental Psychiatry starts with a 15–20 minute introductory phone consultation. This call allows you to briefly share your concerns and determine whether the practice is the right fit for your needs.
If it is a good match, the next step is scheduling your comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. From there, appointments are typically scheduled every 2–6 weeks until symptoms stabilize, with follow-up visits often transitioning to quarterly check-ins once stability is achieved.



Mental health is closely connected to the body’s chemistry. Nutrient deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, genetic expression and epigenetics, gut health, and environmental toxins can all influence mood, attention, and emotional regulation.
At Elemental Psychiatry, treatment is guided by the concept of biochemical individuality, meaning each person’s brain chemistry is unique and requires a personalized approach.
Through functional lab testing and biochemical assessments, we gain deeper insight into what may be contributing to symptoms. This allows treatment plans to include:
