About My Clients
I am comfortable treating all age groups from birth to 65+ . I like to work with people who are willing to engage in the process of partnering with me to find solutions to what maybe troubling them. People who are open to different ideas and are committed to the goal of recovery. They need to have trust in me that my goal is to help them achieve what they are looking for ,as long as it is reasonable , and value the intervention.
My Background and Approach
I have been trained in Medical School in India ,and then further trained in USA in Psychiatry from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation ,and Child Psychiatry from McLean Hospital in Belmont MA. This has given me the basis of Psychotherapy and use of Medications. In the past 15-20 years I have incorporated integrative Medicine which addresses lifestyle , diet, exercise, good sleep hygiene, faith and spirituality and meditation . This allows me to treat the whole person ,not just the leading complaint. I insist on 45-60 min sessions , so that I have enough time to listen and provide thoughtful feedback to people who are seeking help from me. I find this allows me to develope deep connections with my patients , who feel heard and understood.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the power of the mind and finding ways to make it better. Hope is the biggest healer and if I can bring someone to believe in the future ,they are already engaged in treatment. I have strong spiritual beliefs that align with harnessing positive thought process and being Mindful. It was a Silent meditation Retreat that impacted my life and made a believer of me . I have found myself to be a better Therapist and Healer since I incorporated those principles in my practice.
