Jennifer Martynowicz

Dr. Marty will be active in insurance networks effective August 1, 2026.

Dr. Jennifer Martynowicz, MD, PhD—known to many of her patients as Dr. Marty—is a board-certified psychiatrist who believes the best mental health care begins with truly understanding the whole person. She works with adults 18 and older to create thoughtful, evidence-based treatment plans that not only address symptoms but also help patients regain the quality of life they’re seeking.

Originally from the Chicago suburbs, Dr. Martynowicz attended the University of Notre Dame before earning both her Doctor of Medicine (MD) and PhD in Immunology and Microbiology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. She completed her psychiatry residency at Indiana University, where she conducted research focused on improving the quality of life and mental health of individuals living with cancer. Her strong scientific background continues to shape her approach to patient care, allowing her to combine the latest evidence with compassionate, individualized treatment.

Dr. Marty enjoys caring for adults in every stage of life. She treats a broad range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and many other psychiatric concerns. One of the things she enjoys most about psychiatry is that every patient brings a unique story, and every treatment plan should reflect that individuality.

She has a particular passion for helping people who no longer feel like themselves. Whether she’s working with a college student learning to manage ADHD or anxiety while navigating newfound independence, or helping someone enjoy their retirement years with greater emotional wellness, her goal is always the same: to help patients feel better so they can fully engage in the lives they want to live.

Dr. Marty’s approach is highly collaborative. She believes treatment decisions work best when patients are active participants in their care. Rather than simply prescribing medication, she takes time to understand each person’s goals, discusses treatment options openly, and works alongside patients to develop a plan that fits their needs and values. She also believes in using the least amount of medication necessary to achieve meaningful improvement whenever possible.

During an initial appointment, patients can expect a thorough, unhurried conversation about their current concerns, personal history, and what they hope to accomplish through treatment. Dr. Marty wants to understand not only what symptoms someone is experiencing, but how those symptoms are affecting their relationships, work, school, and overall well-being. Her goal is for every patient to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path ahead.

Outside of the office, Dr. Marty enjoys gardening, practicing Pilates, and discovering new restaurants with friends and family.

One message she often shares with patients is simple but powerful: steady, thoughtful changes can make a lasting difference. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right partnership and a personalized treatment plan, meaningful progress is possible.
