Being seen is where recovery begins.
“Healing doesn’t mean fighting your system. It means learning its language.”
Chronic illness reshapes your metabolic, immune, and nervous systems, and the way you live in the world. We start by recognizing how much effort it takes just to get through the day.
Metis, named for the ancient Greek idea of adaptive intelligence: clear thinking, careful judgment, and resourcefulness, brings two distinct forms of partnership to your care:

How we can help
Health Consultations
An informed scientific partner for post-viral and autonomic conditions. Make sense of emerging research, weigh treatment and trial options, and walk into appointments prepared. Each consultation includes a detailed written report with individualized recommendations.
Scientific consulting only — not medical care.
Neuropsychological Assessment
Cognitive evaluation that identifies strengths as well as challenges, with practical recommendations for work, home, and school.
Psychotherapy & Behavioral Health
Remote, evidence-based support for living with chronic illness, drawing on ACT, mindfulness, pacing, and interoceptive awareness. Therapy doesn’t treat the cause of post-viral illness, it helps you function and recover more sustainably.
Ketogenic Metabolic Health
Guidance on ketogenic approaches as a complementary path to better energy and brain health, informed by Dr. Colgan’s own clinical and observational research.
MEET DR. COLGAN
Clinical expertise, scientific insight, and lived experience.
Dr. Dana Dharmakaya Colgan is a neuroscientist and licensed psychologist, specializing in health psychology and neuropsychology, as well as a yoga therapist and meditation teacher who has lived through systemic illness and recovery herself.
She is Principal Investigator on multiple Long COVID clinical trials, including an FDA-approved pharmaceutical study, and has contributed to the NIH RECOVER Initiative platform trials, one of the largest national efforts to understand and treat Long COVID.
The science is moving fast. As an active researcher in post-viral and autonomic recovery, she brings the latest findings directly into her work with you.
FOR FAMILIES
Children, teens & families
Assessment and behavioral health support built around the school years, with findings translated into practical school accommodations. Families are involved throughout, because recovery happens at the household level.
Dr. Colgan accepts provider referrals and self-referrals.
