Gauri Khurana

From my training at Yale and Columbia, I believe in treating the patient as a whole, taking into account the entire person with their psychological, social, and spiritual needs. I treat people going through difficult life circumstances including relationship difficulties, family problems, anxiety, trauma and job stress. In addition, I treat all psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, obsessive/compulsive disorder, and panic disorder.

By integrating psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and guidance on lifestyle modifications, I strive to significantly improve my patients' general well-being. I work with children, adolescents and adults.

Following a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, I make recommendations tailored to the individual that include holistic approaches, psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychopharmacology when indicated. Working with college and graduate students is of particular interest to me as that is the age when mental illness often first appears and is in the context of great transition. I also work with patients with complex trauma histories. She works best with patients who are ready to make changes in their lives to acheive their goals.
