Mind in Tune

Hi, I’m Caroline Ritson, MD. I’m a board-certified psychiatrist and the founder of Mind in Tune, an independent psychiatry practice offering care for adults throughout Hawaiʻi.

I’m currently accepting new patients.

I believe care begins with taking time to understand a person’s story, not just their symptoms.

Mind in Tune is the space I created to practice in a way that feels true to who I am and to the path that shaped how I care for others.

My Story
A large tree with thick, sprawling roots and sunlight filtering through dense green foliage, highlighting Mind in Tune’s whole-person, root-cause approach to care.

My approach is integrative and focused on supporting the whole person in moving toward balance.

I explore root causes and the many factors that influence mental health, offering personalized care that may include medication support, therapy, and lifestyle approaches to help you thrive.

Services

  • A thorough assessment focused on understanding your history, current concerns, and goals for care. I take time to explore biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health.

  • Thoughtful prescribing with attention to underlying biological and nutritional factors that may influence symptoms and treatment response. When helpful, we can also discuss supplements or nutraceuticals.

  • I incorporate elements of therapy into most visits using a flexible, supportive approach. Depending on your needs, sessions may draw from cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, lifestyle, or insight-oriented techniques.

I provide care for a broad range of mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep issues, trauma-related conditions, adjustment disorders, and more. Please see the Services page for full details. 

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. I am in-network with select insurance providers (see above). Current self-pay rates are $400 for a new-patient intake and $250–$300 for follow-up visits. I can also provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. At this time, I do not participate in Medicare plans.

  1. Submit a brief interest form to get connected.

  2. You’ll receive instructions to complete a secure initial intake questionnaire.
