Meet Our Founder
Dr. Michael Bell, a board-certified psychiatrist brings over 24 years of clinical practice to Mind Garden Path. With expertise spanning functional medicine, psychiatry, philosophy, psychotherapy, and a seamless integration of Western and Eastern medical traditions, Dr. Bell has cultivated a truly holistic approach to wellness.
His distinguished career includes work with the National Institutes of Health, the United States Army, the National Naval Medical Hospital, and The Cleveland Clinic. As chief resident in psychopharmacology at the University of Massachusetts, Dr. Bell honed his ability to balance the complexities of modern medicine with a profound respect for the individuality of every patient.
Driven by a passion for transformative care, Dr. Bell founded his private practice in 2006 and has since developed the central tenets of "Dread Philosophy," a school of thought that bridges the ancient wisdom of the Caribbean and Ethiopia with contemporary wellness science. This philosophy celebrates autonomy, courage, and transcendence, guiding individuals to face life’s uncertainties with dignity and grow through their most challenging experiences.
His travels beyond conventional U.S. health systems have shaped a revolutionary approach that emphasizes deep healing and restoration rather than masking symptoms. Under Dr. Bell’s leadership, Mind Garden Path rejects the profit-driven priorities of insurance companies and third-party interests, focusing instead on empowering clients to reclaim their health. His unique system of care is rooted in science yet boldly unorthodox, designed to nurture the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
At Mind Garden Path, Dr. Bell’s mission is clear—to offer meaningful, individualized solutions that cultivate resilience, balance, and a profound sense of well-being. Dr. Bell’s vision reflects a lifetime of learning, innovation, and commitment to his patients. His work continues to inspire those seeking not just relief, but transformation—helping them to cultivate a life of health, purpose, and freedom.
