My approach is based on integrative psychiatry, which uses medications, therapy and complementary medicine to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I address the combined impact of sleep, lifestyle, relationships, nutrition and chronic medical conditions on well-being, and use cutting edge tools like genetic testing to guide personalized treatment with medication and supplements. I consider the patient's cultural background in my assessments and I can provide treatment in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. My goal is to help my patients create lasting changes and build vitality, resilience and purpose in life.

Dr. Iman Parhami is a triple-board certified psychiatrist (Child Psychiatry, Adult Psychiatry, and Addiction Medicine) who completed his child and adolescent psychiatry training at Johns Hopkins University. He strongly believes that diagnoses do not define individuals. Instead, diagnoses can help classify a set of symptoms and can help identify empirically supported treatments for that class of symptoms. He also believes that psychiatric treatments cannot just include psychopharmacology but must include a multi-disciplinary approach that is family-driven and culturally sensitive.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Psychiatrists
What can a Hispanic and Latino psychiatrist help with?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. For many in the Hispanic and Latino individuals, finding a psychiatrist who shares and understands their cultural identity can be an important step toward feeling seen and supported. A provider with shared cultural roots or cultural competence may have a more intuitive understanding of cultural values and may also be better equipped to address sensitive issues like acculturation challenges or the stigma that can prevent individuals from seeking mental health support.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino psychiatrists?
Psychology Today's online directory is a helpful tool that can help aid your search for a Hispanic or Latino psychiatrist. The directory allows you to filter your search specifically for Hispanic or Latino psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). When reviewing a provider’s profile, look for key information that signals cultural competence—such as being fluent in Spanish or being knowledgeable about certain topics like immigration-related trauma, family dynamics, or bicultural identity. Also, consider practical factors like their offered therapeutic styles (e.g., CBT, family therapy), whether they provide telehealth or in-person sessions, and which insurance plans they accept to ensure that care is both accessible and a good fit for you.
