Trained at Dartmouth. Built for the real world.

Dr. Mitnaul is a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist. He trained at Dartmouth and leads his private practice with Ascension Via Christi Behavioral Health. But the clinical credentials are only part of the story.

HIS MISSION
|
Dr. Mitnaul believes that the gap between clinical knowledge and everyday family life does not have to be as wide as it is. His work is built around closing that gap — not by talking down to people, but by meeting them where they are and giving them something they can actually use. As a father of seven, he is not speaking at families from a distance. He is in it. That is what makes his voice different from most experts in his field.

HIS APPROACH
|
Dr. Mitnaul does not separate clinical expertise from lived experience. Everything he builds — the book, the community, the speaking work, the show — is an extension of the same mission. He does not talk down to his audience. He meets them where they are and gives them something they can actually use.
