About Metta Vita Health
Metta Vita Health is an established and growing private psychiatric and integrative mental health practice with physical locations in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Hawaii, and plans to expand into Florida and New York. We bring psychiatry, therapy, and functional medicine together to care for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Our patients include neurodivergent individuals, students, parents, creatives, athletes, and professionals. Care here is relational and personalized: we explore how physical health, development, stress, relationships, and lived experience shape well-being, then build clear, manageable plans together.
Join us as a pediatric functional medicine NP, helping children and families connect physical health, development, and emotional well-being.
The Metta Vita Way
Curiosity before judgment. Validation before advice. Connection before correction. Heart + science.
At MVH, we care for the whole person with compassion, curiosity, and sound clinical judgment. We value teammates who take initiative, communicate openly, follow through, and grow together—with room for humor, community, and fun.
