Welcome to Brain Haven Psychiatry
Your scenic route to mental well-being starts here. Brain Haven Psychiatry is a specialised mental health private practice rooted in empathy, evidence-based care and personalised care. Here, mental health isn’t treated as a destination—it’s a journey, and we’re here to walk it with you.
Meet the Psychiatrist
Dr. Lerato Masenya is a specialist psychiatrist and the founder of Brain Haven Psychiatry. With a deep respect for the complexity of each individual’s experience, she offers thoughtful, collaborative support through life’s mental health journeys.
She obtained her medical degree from the University of Cape Town and specialised in psychiatry at the University of the Witwatersrand, where she also completed her Master’s research. Dr. Masenya is a fellow of the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa and is fully registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
Dr. Masenya’s patient-centred approach invites you to walk your health journey with her, exploring care options that align with your story, values, and life context. Her role is not to direct the path, but to walk alongside you—helping you find clarity and healing along the way.
