I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist whose practice is shaped by three core values: Caring, Comprehensive, and Confidential. Caring - Medical care too often makes patients to feel like they are just a number - dismissed, rushed, not heard, and not understood. One of my core values as a psychiatrist is to establish a caring treatment relationship with my patients that is guided by my patients' priorities and preferences, and is characterized by trust and open dialogue. I believe the quality of my relationship with my patient is the foundation to treatment success.

FAQ - Asian Psychiatrists
What can an Asian psychiatrist help with?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often through a combination of therapy and medication. For many individuals, especially those from culturally diverse backgrounds, feeling seen and understood by a mental health provider can be just as important as clinical expertise. For some people of Asian descent, working with a psychiatrist who shares their cultural heritage can help bridge communication gaps, reduce stigma, and provide a more nuanced understanding of an individual's challenges. While psychiatrists of all backgrounds are equally qualified, Asian psychiatrists may bring personal and professional insight into issues such as cultural stigma around mental health, intergenerational and immigrant experiences, racial discrimination, and identity-related stressors that can shape a person’s mental well-being.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian psychiatrists?
When searching for a provider, it is important to consider a range of factors to find the best fit for your mental health needs and cultural preferences. Psychology Today’s online directory is a helpful tool that allows you to filter your search specifically for Asian psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). As you view a provider’s profile, consider their clinical focus to see if they have explicit experience with issues like racial identity, trauma, family dynamics, or specific populations. It is also helpful to consider practical details such as their therapeutic modalities, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, the languages they speak, and which insurance plans they accept to ensure their care is accessible to you.
