the layers of wellbeing

At skin mind health, we offer personalized, compassionate care. Our mission is to serve you and address your skin care needs. As a board-certified, medical dermatologist with over 15 years of practice at the University of Pennsylvania and UPMC, Dr. Alaina is highly skilled in complex medical dermatology, rashes, skin infections, benign and cancerous skin lesions, medical procedures, and conditions involving hair and nails. We care for children and adults.

*We are a direct-pay dermatology center and we work for you. We do not work with health insurance companies.

Dr. Alaina is interested in your overall health, nutrition, medical history, medications, physical activity, hobbies, and lived experience. Your skin is an external organ that is in contact with the surrounding environment and works with your internal organs. When an internal organ is not healthy, skin changes can occur such as itching, rashes, or skin growths. Dr. Alaina works with you to improve your overall health and collaborates with your health care team.

We offer health education and mindful movement classes to support healthy living. 

We care about you and respect you. We are creating a safe, warm environment to work with you and develop your health care plan. Stress, trauma and mental well-being play a pivotal role in skin health. How you see yourself and the world are important for your health. Fear and insecurities can override your dreams and freedom. By exploring your beliefs and addressing your mental and emotional health, we can improve your skin and overall health. 

We offer health and personal coaching, meditation, and referrals to mental health specialists.
