Himabindu Ravi, MD — Psychiatrist in California

Hi there, I'm Himabindu!

My goal is to help young people develop into their best selves and achieve their potential in all aspects of life. I primarily focus on working with young people ages 13-30 and their families, supporting personal growth, academic success, and professional development.

My focus

I work with young people experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, academic stress, relationship stress, and family conflicts. My holistic approach involves nutrition, sleep, and other lifestyle factors that aid in good outcomes.

My approach

I take a holistic approach to assessment and treatment planning. I identify problems with sleep, nutrition, metabolic issues, and emotional wellness and integrate them into treatment goals with your input. I utilize evidence-based therapies that develop problem-solving skills, emotional regulation, and decision-making abilities.

My communication style

My tone is friendly, personal, with a touch of humor! Most patients and families enjoy working with me after we establish an initial good fit.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been fascinated by the brain and the mind! The concept of neuroplasticity, where we can train our brains to problem solve and rewire in healthier ways, has been a huge factor in my decision to focus on young people. Seeing my patients improve their functioning and live their best lives gives me great joy.

My goals for you

Goal setting starts with an initial comprehensive assessment, where we figure out the problem areas to be addressed. We then prioritize the goals by dividing them into short-term and long-term. All this is developed with your input as needed.

Our first session

During the first session, you can discuss what difficulties led to this appointment. We explore your treatment history, when difficulties started, and how you've managed so far. What do you think led to the current situation? What goals are you seeking? We discuss medical history, school or work functioning, sleep, diet, and social life.
