All recipients are invited to attend IAOTP’s annual awards gala at the end of the year, a celebration dedicated to honoring the achievements of these top professionals.
With three decades of experience in psychiatry, Dr. DiFrancesco has certainly proven herself an expert in the field. As a dynamic, results-driven physician and thought leader, Dr. DiFrancesco is the owner of DiFrancesco MD LLC, where she provides advanced psychiatric consultation with a focus on psychopharmacology, neuropsychiatric assessment, integrative psychiatry, addiction, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, bipolar disorder, and complex diagnostic presentations.
Dr. DiFrancesco offers consultative services that include a comprehensive evaluation of brain health, psychiatric history, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors that may contribute to mental health symptoms. Her philosophy is that a healthy brain is key to well-being, balance, and optimal functioning. She believes that making an accurate diagnosis is the most important first step in treating patients.
After 30 years in psychiatry, Dr. DiFrancesco has expanded her clinical and educational focus to include integrative psychopharmacology, brain health, and emerging research in peptide-based and metabolic therapies. She is particularly interested in the evolving literature on peptide based approaches, including their potential relevance to addiction, craving, compulsive behaviors, inflammation, and neuropsychiatric wellness. Her work emphasizes evidence-informed, individualized care and careful diagnostic assessment, while recognizing that many of these areas remain emerging and require continued research.
Areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, psychopharmacology, neuropsychiatry, integrative psychiatry, addiction medicine, mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, bipolar disorder, peptide and metabolic therapy research, QEEG/brain mapping, complex diagnostic assessment, medical education, and brain health.
Prior to her career, Dr. DiFrancesco graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania, where she received her Bachelor’s Degree. After earning her medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine, she received additional training in both Psychiatry and Neurology.
Upon completing residency training at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, she was appointed Medical Director of the Learning Laboratory, a private facility in Connecticut. There, she specialized in diagnosing and treating Attention Deficit Disorder, Addiction, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder, using Quantitative EEG, also known as Brain Mapping.
Her diagnostic skills were also utilized at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, where she assessed psychotic adolescents for schizophrenia treatment and eligibility for research protocols.
Throughout her illustrious career, Dr. DiFrancesco has received many awards and accolades and has been recognized for her accomplishments. In 2012, she received the Most Compassionate Doctor Award from Vitals. In 2014, she received the Patients’ Choice Award, Top 10 Doctor by State, and Outstanding Professional of the Year. She was also recognized by the International Association of Top Professionals as Top Female Visionary of the Year and Humanitarian of the Year for 2018 and Medical Doctor of the Year in Psychiatry & Neurology for 2017.
She will be honored at IAOTP’s annual awards gala at the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City this December for her selection as Top Psychiatrist of the Year in Integrative and Peptide Therapy for 2026.
The President of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), Stephanie Cirami, stated, “Choosing Dr. DiFrancesco for this honor was an easy decision for our panel to make.
