We’re thrilled to introduce Dr. Cyril Appiagyei, a passionate psychiatrist and co-founder of WOVEN Clinics. Cyril’s commitment to transforming mental healthcare is deeply rooted in his upbringing. With parents from Ghana who dedicated their careers to serving underserved communities, Cyril grew up spending his summers working at their primary care clinic on the South Side of Chicago. These experiences are fundamental to his drive to bring quality healthcare to those who need it most.
Cyril earned his MD from the University of Minnesota, where he spent his entire first year of clinical rotations working at the county hospital, developing a strong foundation in community-focused care. As class president for four years, he honed his leadership skills and worked closely with his medical school administration to advocate for student and patient needs.
Cyril was exposed to the collaborative care model during his psychiatry residency at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he saw the potential to serve underserved communities. During this time he also saw the need for new models as well as innovative treatments in the field of mental health.
Cyril’s vision is clear: to make high-quality psychiatric care accessible to all, especially to those who have been historically underserved. He believes in integrating innovative, evidence-based treatments into existing mental health systems to improve the well-being of both individuals and communities. Whether it’s through ketamine infusions, addiction treatments, or collaborative care models, Cyril emphasizes the importance of a team-based approach in mental healthcare.
In his spare time, Cyril loves listening to live music, working out, traveling, playing video games, and getting lost in fantasy novels. Friends and colleagues describe him as encouraging, dependable, sincere, and funny—qualities that shape his approach to both patient care and leadership.
Follow along to see how Cyril and the WOVEN Clinics team are reshaping the future of mental healthcare through collaboration, innovation, and community.
