Saira Bhatti

Psychiatrist, MD

My ideal patient is one who is struggling in their day to day lives and is looking to make a change. That change can be in the form of therapy, medication, or a second opinion- I provide my medical recommendations and suggestions, while respecting your choices and autonomy. Making that first phone call, typing out that first email, making it to that first appointment are tremendous steps that are often the most difficult to make. Why not make the rest of your journey easier with someone who you can trust?

My goal is to empower clients with the tools and confidence to understand their past without judgment, take ownership of their present and take positive steps towards their ideal future.

I blend elements from various types of evidence-based therapy and tailor treatment to clients' individual needs as they evolve. I draw most from CBT, DBT, Mindfulness-based practice, Motivational Interviewing, Gottman and Structural Family Therapy.
