Our mission is simple

Phi Owusu, MD, MPH, CCTP

Resident Physician | Researcher | Mental Health Advocate | Storyteller

A psychiatrist, public health professional, and the creator of The Transformed Minds. With a passion for community psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, and global mental health, she bridges evidence-based practice with personal purpose.

Her work spans clinical care, research, advocacy, and education—centered on breaking stigma and increasing access to compassionate, culturally informed treatment. She has presented nationally and internationally on mental health disparities, harm reduction, and trauma-informed care.

Through Transformed Minds, proudly supported by the National Medical Association and funded through a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) award in its first year, Dr. O invites listeners into honest, insightful conversations that empower change—one story, one strategy, and one episode at a time.
