Dr. Fredes’ Journey

Dr. Laura Fredes is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist whose journey began in Peru, where she developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultural perspectives on mental health. This foundation was enriched during her training at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Elmhurst in New York City.

“At MindMED, we believe in treating mental health as human experiences, not personal failures. As a wife and mother, Dr. Fredes brings a personal touch to her professional life, emphasizing strong patient-provider relationships.”

After completing her psychiatry residency in 2022, Dr. Fredes founded MindMED Behavioral Health in Southlake to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and culturally sensitive care. She is particularly passionate about women’s mental health and the treatment of perinatal and perimenopausal mental disorders.

Dr. Fredes integrates evidence-based psychiatric treatment with complementary approaches, considering nutrition, lifestyle, and mind-body practices alongside traditional medication management when appropriate.
