What is an Intuitive Psychiatrist? - Brainz Magazine Exclusive Interview With Elizabeth Ssemanda


Dr. Elizabeth Ssemanda is a board-certified psychiatrist and the founder of New U Psychiatry. Rooted in both African and African American cultural traditions, she integrates a soul-centered, holistic approach to healing with a mission to challenge stigma and redefine mental wellness. Navigating the space between two cultures shaped Dr. Elizabeth Ssemanda’s life in profound ways. As the daughter of Ugandan refugees, her upbringing was infused with resilience, history, and silence—particularly around the traumas of war. It’s from this intersection of inherited pain and the search for healing that her passion for psychiatry emerged.


Her journey began with a fascination for people and science, blossoming into a desire to understand and support others on their healing journeys. Through psychiatry, she found a language to engage with suffering, resilience, and transformation. After working in a range of settings—from emergency care during COVID-19 to boutique practices—she became disillusioned by a model focused primarily on symptom suppression. It was then that New U Psychiatry was born.


In this episode, we discover the following:

1. What is an intuitive psychiatrist?

2. What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

3. What is “Post Trauma Resilience“ and how do we grow it?

4. How can we stop feeling “Broken“ when it comes to trauma?
