Accepting new patients: Dr Richa Bhatia is a double board certified Child, Adolescent, Adult Psychiatrist & Psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience including at academic medical centers such as Dartmouth. Dedicated to high quality care, she offers empathic individual psychotherapy & judicious medication management (when symptoms are impairing enough to warrant medication). Her practice accepts patients ages 5 to 60 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The practice focus is Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, low self-worth, PTSD, and life stressors.
She provides psychotherapy to children and adults and aims to understand the root causes, rather than just symptom management. Her approach is empathic and warm. She strives to understand one's unique life experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals, to help people reach their optimal potential in life. For young children, she provides play therapy.
If you wish to get unstuck from anxiety, OCD, or rumination, or process stressful life experiences in a non-judgmental safe space, cope more effectively, gain more insight, and improve your sense of self, please reach out. Please note: This practice does not offer crisis/urgent care services.
