All practice fees are designed to allow for a smaller overall panel of patients. That means physicians have the opportunity to provide more attentive, individualized care. They can also be available by phone, video, or in-person when urgent issues arise. You will never have to wait an extended period of time to speak with your doctor or schedule an appointment. Initial assessments can also typically be scheduled within a week.
Dr. Miselis is not currently in-network with any insurance provider but can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement. Please contact our office for pricing details.

DR. KRISTIN MISELIS
Dr. Kristin Miselis was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. She took a non-traditional path to
a career in medicine that enabled her to augment her medical practice with a broad range of life
experiences. She specializes in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry with a specific expertise in the
treatment of individuals with eating disorders. She is proud to be serving the youth and
families of Austin and its surrounding communities.
Dr. Miselis obtained her bachelor’s degree from Marlboro College where she participated in the
World Studies Program. She studied Ecology and the social impact of the AIDS epidemic in
Ecuador, and conducted immunology research at an international research lab in Cali, Colombia.
After graduating from college, she worked in both basic science research and child and
adolescent behavioral health. She found herself continually drawn to the interpersonal aspect of
clinical work, confirming her decision to pursue a career in medicine.
Dr. Miselis graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where she learned from a
number of physicians leading their fields in clinical practice and research. Throughout all of
her clinical rotations, she was struck by the power of the physician-patient relationship to
promote healing when nurtured and to interfere with healing when ignored.
She took a year out of medical school to complete a Master of Public Health degree at Columbia
University with a focus on population and family health. It was this experience that
consolidated her interest in psychiatry. She recognized that disruptions in the social and
emotional development of children can contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality across
the lifespan. A career focused on improving the mental health of young people can, therefore,
have a broad, positive, downstream impact.
Dr. Miselis completed her adult psychiatry residency at the New York University School of
Medicine in New York City and her Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at the University
of Washington in Seattle. She did specialized work on the treatment of adolescents with
substance use disorders during residency and the treatment of adolescents with eating disorders
during fellowship.
She practiced primarily outpatient psychiatry in a community-based mental health clinic and then
an academic practice after completing fellowship.
In 2017, she took a job as the psychiatrist at a partial hospitalization treatment program
specialized in the treatment of children, adolescents and adults with eating disorders. Over the
next five years, she continued to develop her expertise in the treatment of eating disorders
through individual patient experiences and supervision from experts in the field
In 2022, she decided to bring her cumulative experience back to the outpatient treatment realm
by launching her own private practice. Her practice is designed to address the unique needs of
youth diagnosed with an eating disorder as well as individuals with other complex mental health
needs. The practice is also dedicated to building community partnerships that will expand access
to high quality psychiatric care.
