Board-certified integrative psychiatrist Kayse Budd, MD practices at 1155 Camino Del Mar in Del Mar, CA 92014, under the practice name Mystic Mandala Medicine. Dr. Budd holds an undergraduate degree from Duke University and earned her Doctor of Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School, where she scored in the 97th percentile on her board examinations. She completed a family medicine internship at Swedish Hospital in Seattle and a three-year psychiatry residency at the University of Arizona, where she later joined Andrew Weil's Program in Integrative Medicine as faculty from 2009 to 2017. Her career includes serving as the holistic psychiatrist at the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, founded by Deepak Chopra, where she also trained as an Ayurvedic physician before the center closed in 2019. Her Camino Del Mar office is steps from Stephanie S Covington & Associates at 1201 Camino Del Mar, whose internationally acclaimed addiction recovery programs share Dr. Budd's commitment to treating the whole person. Dr. Budd has taught at UCLA, UCSD, and the University of Arizona, and she co-authored Chapter 28 on Mindfulness, Meditation, and Yoga in the Handbook of Wellness Medicine published by Cambridge University Press in 2020. Her clinical approach blends evidence-based herbal remedies, nutraceuticals, nutritional guidance, psychotherapy, mind-body medicine, and light pharmacotherapy — deliberately minimizing reliance on heavy psychiatric medication.
