I am a very experienced, board certified adult psychiatrist who has worked in a broad range of treatment settings including public, private, and academic medical centers. I provide evaluation and medication management as well as a very limited amount of psychotherapy under specific conditions. Normally, I refer patients to our large psychotherapy staff for talk therapy.
My approach to treatment can best be understood by following the course of my education. I first studied biochemistry, where I learned to appreciate the importance of rigorous clinical research, ongoing education, and the power of medications.

Dr. Sahadevan took an adventurous path to Talkiatry. After perhaps thinking a little too hard about Intro to Philosophy in college - “the unexamined life is not worth living” - he first used his chemistry degree to work in pharmaceutical research. Changing course, he then worked in computer network engineering, before deciding to find a more meaningful path. He worked as an EMT, then earned a Master’s in Physiology before finally landing in medical school at Ohio State. Finding a surprising interest in psychiatry, he stayed at Ohio State for residency, and then a fellowship in forensic psychiatry.
