Sarah Iannucci, DO

I am a Board Certified adult psychiatrist.  After completing my undergraduate studies in biology and cultural anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, I received my medical degree from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed both a Residency in General Psychiatry and a Fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry at Jackson Memorial Hospital through the University Of Miami Miller School Of Medicine.  During my residency training I also spent two years studying in the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Course with the Florida Psychoanalytic Center.  I was subsequently given the annual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Award by the Florida Psychoanalytic Society in Conjunction with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.  During my training I also received recognition for my work with inpatient and outpatient Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder patients at the Miami Veteran’s Association Medical Center. 

I have over 17 years of clinical experience across a variety of different psychiatric populations and treatment environments.  I have practiced in forensic settings that include the Miami-Dade County Department of Corrections, and the Miami Special Processing Center for the Department of Homeland Security Immigration Health Service.  I have also worked in substance abuse treatment, acute inpatient mental health, day treatment programs, and a number of different outpatient settings in different parts of the country.  I ran a private practice in Fairfax County, Virginia for 9 years before transitioning to emergency and consultation psychiatry on a telemedicine platform. After gaining 3 years of telepsychiatry experience, I decided to return to private practice, this time in a telepsychiatry format.

I have written an ebook, The Better Mood Book, due for release this fall.  My current area of professional focus is Evolutionary Psychiatry, which is the study of how our early development as a species impacts our mental health in the modern world.  I also maintain expertise in trauma disorders, correctional mental health, and in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
