Adult & addiction psychiatrist · General psychiatric care
Hamilton Gaiani, MD
Double board-certified in adult psychiatry and addiction psychiatry, Dr. Gaiani provides broad psychiatric care with particular expertise in addiction, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, ADHD management, and trauma-related disorders.
He completed psychiatry residency and addiction-psychiatry fellowship training at Yale and serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale School of Medicine. His undergraduate degree in psychology is from Harvard University, and he earned his MD at the University of Miami.
Dr. Gaiani’s style is direct, collaborative, and deeply invested. He takes time to explain the clinical reasoning, invites questions, and builds plans around the person rather than a preset protocol. He also provides evaluations for physician-health programs and related programs supporting healthcare professionals who need fair, appropriate care and support while navigating mental-health or substance-use concerns.
