Stillpoint Psychiatry - Hendersonville, NC
Integrative Psychiatrist Dr. Joanna Gratton
Welcome to Stillpoint Psychiatry, where I provide thoughtful, personalized psychiatric care that combines the best of traditional medicine with holistic, mind-body approaches.
It is through longer, unhurried appointments that I take the time to really listen, understand you as a whole person, and work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that reflects your individual needs, values, and goals - so you can find your stillpoint: a calm, grounded place where clarity and healing begin.
I’am a board certified psychiatrist that specializes in working with adults (ages 18–64) seeking care for:
Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Stress/Burnout, Grief & Adjustment, ADHD, Sleep Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Trauma & PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, and more
In-person appointments are available at my comfortable office in Hendersonville, NC.
Telehealth appointments are also available for patients throughout all of North Carolina, Virginia, and Maine.
Looking for a different kind of psychiatric care?
Maybe you've left appointments feeling rushed, unheard, or as though your symptoms mattered more than your story.
Or perhaps you've received treatment before but are looking for someone willing to take a fresh look at what's going on—and enough time to do it thoughtfully.
At Stillpoint, psychiatric care starts with listening. Longer, unhurried appointments give us the opportunity to explore not only your symptoms but also your health, relationships, lifestyle, stressors, experiences, and goals.
You are more than a diagnosis or a checklist of symptoms and your psychiatric care should reflect that.
Offering Personalized, Integrative Psychiatric Care
Good psychiatric care isn't one-size-fits-all. Two people can have the same diagnosis and need very different things. That's why I take time to understand the whole picture before deciding what treatment might be most helpful.
Your individualized treatment plan may include medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, nutrition, sleep strategies, clinically appropriate lab testing, supplements, mindfulness, or other evidence-informed approaches.
The goal isn't to use everything, it is to determine what makes sense and what will work best for you.
Meet Dr Joanna Gratton
I’m Dr. Joanna Gratton, a board certified psychiatrist offering personalized holistic mental healthcare from my office in Hendersonville, NC; with both in-person and via secure telehealth appointments.
I created Stillpoint because psychiatric care works best when there is enough time to listen, ask questions, understand what's happening, and make decisions together.
My role isn't simply to tell you what to do. It's to help you understand your options, consider the potential benefits and tradeoffs, and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals.
My goal is that you leave our appointments feeling seen, heard, informed and involved in your care.
Thoughtful care begins with understanding the person—not just the symptoms.
My Approach
My focus is on developing positive and trusting relationships with my patients so as to allow for the deep and difficult work necessary to move through challenging times. The nature of my practice allows me to have more time to spend getting to know you, address any concerns that come up, and to ensure we create the most effective treatment plan for you.
My belief is that we are all unique beings and must be treated as such. I offer a unique, personalized and integrative approach using different modalities including: traditional psychiatric care, supplements, herbal remedies, lifestyle coaching, sleep hygiene, lab testing, meditation and mindfulness, grounding exercises and psychotherapy. I also look closely at how nutrition and exercise can positively impact your mental health. I partner with individuals and family members, guiding them toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment.
Areas of Special Interest
While I enjoy working with all sort of people, with all sorts of conditions, I do have several areas of special interest, that include:
Women's Mental Health & Psychiatry
Hormonal and reproductive transitions can affect mood, anxiety, attention, sleep, and overall well-being. I have a particular interest in women's mental health throughout the reproductive lifespan, including psychiatric concerns related to pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, perimenopause, and menopause.
Mental Health Care for Physicians & Mental Health Professionals
People who spend their careers caring for others sometimes need a place where they can simply be the patient. We offer discreet, thoughtful psychiatric care for physicians and mental health professionals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, and other challenges—without having to remain in the provider role.
Support Through Life's Most Difficult Chapters
Mental health care isn't only about diagnoses.
Serious illness, caregiving, grief, loss, and major life transitions can challenge our relationships, identity, sense of control, and understanding of what comes next.
Psychiatric care can provide a thoughtful space to work through these experiences, manage symptoms when they arise, and make difficult decisions in a way that remains connected to your values and what matters most to you.
I have a particular interest in supporting people facing serious or terminal illness, as well as the family members and caregivers walking alongside them.
Our Commitment to Community
At Stillpoint Psychiatry we believe that healthy communities and meaningful human connections are essential to our collective health and well-being. We are proud to be a part of the Hendersonville and Western North Carolina community and believe caring for others goes beyond the walls of our practice.
One way we act on those values is by giving back. We are proud to lend support to local organizations that are doing important work in our communities. In 2026 we donated to the following organizations: Safelight, the Veterans Healing Farm, the Haven of Transylvania County, and BeLoved Asheville. Each one is helping people in difficult situations, giving them hope, compassion and chances to heal. We will continue to support local charities going forward year after year
We believe that investing in the well-being of our neighbors is an investment in a healthier, stronger, more connected community for all.
Five Things That You Can Absolutely Count on at Stillpoint Psychiatry

What Is Integrative Psychiatry?
Integrative psychiatry considers the whole person—not just a diagnosis.
Traditional psychiatric medicine and holistic strategies don't have to be opposites.
Depending on your needs, we may consider medication, psychotherapy, sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, relationships, physical health, laboratory findings, supplements, mindfulness, and other mind-body strategies.
Integrative psychiatry doesn't mean every treatment is appropriate for every person. Rather, it means we're willing to look broadly, evaluate options carefully, and build a treatment plan around you.
Conditions That I Treat
Mental health challenges can affect every part of life. Whether you're struggling with a specific condition or simply haven't felt like yourself lately, I'm here to help you better understand what you're experiencing and explore a path forward.
I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, and integrative psychiatric care for adults ages 18–64 experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including:
Anxiety & Mood
Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, chronic stress, burnout, grief, and difficult life transitions.
ADHD & Sleep
Adults with ADHD often experience difficulty concentrating, insomnia, and other sleep concerns.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma, PTSD, and other difficult experiences that continue to affect how you feel, think, relate to others, or move through daily life.
OCD & Other Concerns
OCD and other psychiatric concerns that may benefit from thoughtful evaluation and individualized treatment.
Not sure what's contributing to how you're feeling? A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation can help identify possible causes and guide your next steps.
