Welcome To My Practice
Hi, I am Dr. Pooja Shah, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of ADHD, Autism, anxiety, and depression.
If you have worked with a psychiatrist before or are new to seeking mental health care, Welcome!
I am glad that you have taken the first step!
In my practice, we will start with an initial 90-minute appointment where we have an in-depth discussion of your symptoms and work together to formulate an evidence-based treatment plan including talk therapy and if appropriate, use of medications where indicated. We can also discuss non-medication alternatives if you prefer a holistic approach.
You will have direct access to me at each point of care.
It can be a challenge to seek help for your mental health and find a psychiatrist who can understand your needs and your child’s needs.
I strive to provide a tailored approach to each patient as I believe everyone is unique and so are their challenges and mental health needs.
I look forward to partnering with you to help you be the Best Version Of You!
