WinnMed is pleased to welcome Alicia Kilian, M.D., to its medical team. Joining the practice full-time at the end of July, Dr. Kilian provides psychiatric care to patients aged 14+, and internal medicine care to adults with complex medical needs. She will also provide care and treatment for patients with addiction and substance use disorders.
Psychiatry is a specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental, emotional and behavior disorders. Psychiatrists are licensed medical doctors who are board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. They evaluate and treat patients using a variety of methods, including medication, psychotherapy and specialties therapies. At WinnMed, Dr. Kilian will see patients for a wide variety of psychiatric conditions, including (but not limited to):
She will also provide consultative care for adult patients with complex medical needs, working in partnership with their primary care provider.
Originally from eastern Iowa, Dr. Kilian received her undergraduate degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and her medical degree from University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in Minneapolis. She completed her residency in internal medicine and psychiatry at the University of Iowa and then continued there for a fellowship in Addiction Medicine. Dr. Kilian is Board Certified in Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine and in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; she anticipates Board Certification in Addiction Medicine this fall.
Dr. Kilian says, “I strive to provide compassionate, patient-centered care that recognizes the strong connection between physical and mental health. My training in internal medicine, psychiatry, and addiction medicine allows me to care for patients with complex conditions that span these areas. I work collaboratively with patients to understand their goals, provide clear education, and develop individualized treatment plans. I value a comprehensive approach that considers each person’s medical, emotional, and social needs to support long-term health and well-being.”
As a new specialty at WinnMed, psychiatry expands access to mental health care for patients throughout the region. In addition to psychiatric services, WinnMed offers a range of behavioral health programs, including psychotherapy, Integrated Behavioral Health services and group therapy.
“Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two young boys,” says Dr. Kilian. “We love being outdoors – especially hiking and biking – and exploring new places together. I also enjoy sewing and weightlifting. These activities help me stay balanced and bring energy and perspective to my work caring for patients.”
